All-in-One Breast Biopsy System

The Sapphire system is the product of Suros Surgical Systems, Inc. (Indianapolis, IN, USA), and offers high-risk women the option of early cancer detection without invasive surgery.

The ability to perform vacuum-assisted breast biopsy with MRI guidance is gaining wide acceptance following recent studies supporting the efficacy of MRI-guided biopsy for women at high risk for breast disease and cancer. Doctors using the Sapphire system have cut the typical 90-minute procedure time in half, making MRI-guided breast biopsy a viable economic option, especially when compared to surgery.

"I have been using Suros' standard petite needle for almost a year and I love it,” said Dr. Ilona Hertz, a radiologist with Manhattan Diagnostic Radiology (New York, NY, USA). "With the addition of the MRI petite needle to my equipment, I'll be able to help 99.9% of women, no matter whether they're large- or small-breasted, or if their lesion is difficult to reach.”
