For the Surgeon

The Importance

Leading surgeons across the globe are eliminating error and improving outcomes using Vector Surgical’s innovative medical devices.

The Problem

Customary methods used to orient tissue margins cause error. Medical research shows discordance rates of 31% to 52% in the identification of specimen margins between surgery, pathology, and radiology. In breast cancer surgery alone, re-excision rates exceed 20%, and these rates are increasing across many other clinical specialties. Ecchymosis, hematomas, and seroma formation are frequent occurrences following some surgeries.

The Solution

Vector Surgical’s Tissue Orientation System, comprised of MarginMarker and CorrectClips, provides secure and accurate designation of specimen margins, contributing to:

• Fewer unnecessary re-excisions
• More accurate re-excisions
• Lower cancer recurrence
• Improved cosmesis

The SilversteinWrap contributes to less ecchymosis and seroma formation and fewer delays to adjuvant therapy.
