Mammotome Launches First In-Room MR Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy System
Mammotome, a Danaher company, announces the Mammotome PrimaTM MR Dual Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy System, the industry’s first system designed to be positioned in the MRI scanner room, at the patient’s side during a breast biopsy procedure. This breakthrough innovation enhances clinician coordination, improves communication, and keeps the focus on patient care by bringing the vacuum-assisted breast biopsy device directly into the room.

The Mammotome PrimaTM MR system streamlines workflow with an intuitive in-room design.1 Clinicians benefit from larger tissue samples 2 enabled by stronger vacuum 3 and an 8-gauge needle. This is made possible by a 75% reduction in tubing compared to other systems⁴. Less tubing also results in faster setup and cleanup and less biohazard waste. Additional highlights include convenient aperture size and vacuum strength adjustments on a touchscreen interface – a first for MRI breast biopsy systems.
Ultimately, these combined benefits ensure clinicians can focus on delivering safe, accurate, and compassionate care, translating into a better experience for patients. “Our commitment to advancing breast care drives every innovation we bring to market,” said Scott Treml, Mammotome Vice President and General Manager. “As the first of its kind in-room solution, the Mammotome PrimaTM MR system empowers clinicians with greater efficiency and confidence, ultimately improving the patient experience.”
