Carbon Medical Technologies’ BiomarC Tissue Marker Line Achieves EU MDR Certification
April 25, 2025 – Carbon Medical Technologies, Inc. (CMT), a manufacturer of pyrolytic carbon-coated medical devices used in biopsy procedures, for radiation therapy, and to treat stress urinary incontinence, is proud to announce that our BiomarC Tissue Marker System has successfully achieved certification under the European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR 2017/745). This certification underscores our commitment to meeting the highest standards of safety, performance, and clinical efficacy required by the European Union for medical devices. The EU MDR certification is recognized globally for its stringent requirements, ensuring that medical devices meet rigorous standards for quality and safety. With this certification, our BiomarC Tissue Markers are authorized to carry the CE marking under the new regulation, facilitating their continued availability across European markets.
BiomarC Tissue Markers are designed to mark biopsy sites within breast tissue, supporting accurate localization during follow-up imaging and procedures. Each marker is composed of a natural, non-metallic pyrolytic carbon coating that is clearly visible under ultrasound, mammography, CT, CBCT, fluoroscopy, and MRI—with minimal imaging artifacts. The unique marker shape enhances visibility and placement accuracy, and the markers are preloaded into delivery systems compatible with both vacuum-assisted and core needle biopsy devices. With a range of sizes and gauge options, BiomarC Tissue Markers offer physicians flexibility and precision in breast biopsy site marking.
Achieving this milestone reflects the dedication and hard work of our entire team, who have diligently worked to align our products with the comprehensive requirements of the EU MDR. We remain committed to providing innovative and reliable solutions that enhance patient care and support healthcare professionals worldwide.
