New nipple markers through to gel packs for biopsy patients ready for RSNA

Beekley Corporation introduces new nipple markers through to gel packs for biopsy patients ready for RSNA.

New, low density non metallic pellets from Beekley save read time by quickly identifying nipple location in digital mammography without adjustment of window and level settings.

Beekley Corporation introduces the new 'perfect for digital' line of N-SPOTS for marking nipples in mammography.  'Perfect for digital' N-SPOTS feature distinct 2.3mm non-metallic pellets that immediately, unmistakably, and consistently document the nipple's location on the screen without causing artifact.

According to Dr. Gary Whitman, Associate Professor of Radiology and Associate Radiologist of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, "Nipple markers continue to provide benefit on stdigital mammographic studies, as the radiologist can quickly and accurately determine the nipple to lesion distance.  In digital mammography, placement of nipple markers eliminates the need to adjust the window and level settings."

Beekley's perfect for digital N-SPOTS® are available in 3 popular nipple marker styles: round disc, extended tab with adhesive free center; and Soft 'n Stretchy pinch-free material with adhesive free center; all in a patient friendly floral design.

ColdSPOT with floral design for the post biopsy patient

Beekley has also introduced new improved ColdSPOT with floral design for the post biopsy patient.  Developed by a breast cancer survivor, ColdSPOT is a moldable gel pack that now stays cold three times longer than other products -- reducing bleeding, bruising, pain, and inflammation.

ColdSPOT's unique self adhesive side tabs ensure consistent, targeted, cold therapy over the biopsy site and the advanced moldable gel allows for comfortable wear of the product throughout the course of treatment.  In a feminine floral design, Beekley's ColdSPOT provides the best combination of wearable comfort and effective cold therapy for optimal patient satisfaction.

Indentation-free landmarks for orthopedic imaging in MRI

Also new on the market is the new OrthoSPOTS provide precise localization on extremities and smaller areas of concern without distorting pathology or causing discomfort to the patient. OrthoSPOTS feature a low flat profile that eliminates indentation and provides the interpreting radiologist with an image that clearly depicts the area of interest.

OrthoSPOTS contain Radiance, the imaging liquid exclusive to Beekley that is signal intense on all sequences, ensuring that the markers will image brightly and consistently. At just 0.75 cm, OrthoSPOTS image only on the slices specific to the area marked making them the perfect solution for breast MRI and pediatric MR imaging.

New PinPoint multi-modality fiducial markers

The Beekley Corporation has also announced the introduction of PinPoint, the perfect fiducial marker for image registration under CT and MRI.   Unlike other fiducial markers, PinPoint's center opening is tapered, coning down to a 1.27mm diameter hole, limiting the area the probe can touch for even greater registration accuracy.

PinPoint's bright, consistent, and unmistakable image under both CT and MRI is due to a new breakthrough formula that will never expire or dry out. Pinpoint's unique dispensing system and Pik-UpTM; tab makes application and removal convenient and easy to use.
