BiomarC^®
Fiducial Marker

Carbon Medical Technologies (CMT) manufactures various fiducial markers to meet the specific needs of our customers to enhance accuracy and efficiency during radiation therapy. Our unique pyrolytic carbon coating technology provides exceptional biocompatibility for permanent medical implants.

The unique carbon coating and composition of the core materials is compatible with all forms of radiation therapy and provides maximum versatility for modalities and treatments such as IGRT/IMRT, Proton Therapy, CT, MRI and portal imaging. Areas marked with BiomarC fiducial markers provide clear, visual landmarks with no uncertainty between healthy tissue and the target area.

BiomarC Fiducial Markers Characteristics:

Lesion localization
Marking surgical sites or margin areas
Confirmation of tumor shrinkage and final excision of the cancerous tissue
Marking tumors at the time of diagnosis

Carbon Medical Technologies strength lies in the ability to customize product design to meet the needs of a wide range of fiducial marker applications.

BiomarC, our legacy marker, is an implantable fiducial marker. It provides an extremely valuable method to ensure accurate and repeatable target positioning in radiation therapy with little perturbation of the radiation beam. This exclusive marker is manufactured with our least dense nonmetallic material. It is designed for soft tissue localization using kV imaging or CBCT.

Key Features & Benefits

Minimal artifact due to the unique material combination
Minimal distortion of the delivered dose
One of a kind shape helps reduce migration
Available in a 1x3mm and 1x5mm configuration

Feel confident with the reliable placement of “BiomarC Secure.” The industry’s only ceramic fiducial marker now has the ability to be sutured to soft tissue. The precise nature of a marker sutured to the affected tissue allows for the ultimate benefit in precision radiation therapy.

Key Features & Benefits

Carbon coated for exceptional biocompatibility
Ceramic core to minimize artifact and dose perturbation
Superior radiographic visibility under multiple imaging modalities

BiomarC EX provides excellent visibility for both kV and MV imaging. This marker is manufactured with a slightly denser core material allowing for enhanced daily images. This marker can be especially helpful on larger patients or patients with bony or implant interference with treatment planning.

Key Features & Benefits

Exceptional material combination reduces artifact
Excellent visibility allowing for tighter margins and increased dosing
Extraordinary biocompatibility with the pyrolytic carbon outer coating
Available in a 0.9x5mm and 1x5mm configuration

Uniquely designed for the special needs of a proton center; the BiomarC PRO fiducial marker is manufactured to minimize artifact and perturbation. It is designed for soft tissue localization using kV imaging.

Key Features & Benefits

Exclusive material compatible to proton beam
Precise localization
Easily visible and available in multiple lengths for versatility
Available in a 0.9x5mm, 1x5mm and 1x10mm configuration

LEARN MORE

This enhanced marker is designed for customers who use MRI for treatment planning. BiomarC Enh enjoys all the same benefits as our legacy BiomarC, while providing a superior reference for MRI image fusion. This marker is designed for soft tissue localization using kV imaging.

Key Features & Benefits

Easily visible on MRI
Available preloaded in a needle or individually packaged for flexibility in placement
Available in a 1x3mm and 1x5mm configuration
