MarginMarker™

Surgeons prevent error by using MarginMarker sterile ink kit for intraoperative tissue orientation.

The Global Leader for Tissue Orientation

In cancer surgery, the single most important predictor of local recurrence is the tissue margins. MarginMarker sterile inks provide secure and accurate designation of specimen margins. Pathology receives tissue clearly marked with a standard color scheme to completely define each of the six margin planes. Irregularities or fissures on the surface are clearly identified. MarginMarker is one element of the Vector Surgical Tissue Orientation System; the second component is CorrectClips™ radiographic markers for intraoperative analysis. The System provides a secure, complete and accurate designation of tissue specimen margins.
