The Gold Anchor, our innovative fiducial marker, has been placed endoscopically by many leading university hospitals in rectal, pancreatic, esophageal, and central lung tumors. The new Gold Anchor Introducer now makes it possible to easily, quickly and safely transfer the marker over into a 22G endoscopic ultrasound aspiration needle (“EUS Needle”). The Gold Anchor Introducer comes in a blister single pack pre-loaded with 0.28x10 or 0.28x20 mm Gold Anchor MR+ (1.5% Fe) marker inside, sterile and ready-to-use.

This makes the Gold Anchor the only fiducial marker that can be placed endoscopically. If you are interested in this innovative product, please do not hesitate to contact us.
