Endomag
Medical technology company specializing in cancer care
Endomag is a medical technology company that specializes in the development of products for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The company is known for its innovative approach to improving the standard of care in breast cancer surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy.
History[edit | edit source]
Endomag was founded in 2007 as a spin-out from research conducted at the University of Houston and the University College London. The company was established to commercialize magnetic sensing technology for medical applications. Over the years, Endomag has developed a range of products that have been adopted in hospitals worldwide.
Technology[edit | edit source]
Endomag's core technology is based on the use of magnetic fields and nanoparticles to improve the precision of cancer surgery. The company's flagship products include the Sentimag probe and the Magseed marker.
Sentimag[edit | edit source]
The Sentimag probe is a handheld device used to detect magnetic fields. It is used in conjunction with Endomag's magnetic tracers to locate sentinel lymph nodes in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. This technology provides an alternative to traditional radioactive tracers, offering a safer and more convenient option for both patients and healthcare providers.
Magseed[edit | edit source]
Magseed is a tiny magnetic marker that is placed in or near a tumor to guide surgeons during breast cancer surgery. It is designed to be a more precise alternative to traditional wire localization techniques. The Magseed marker can be placed in the breast tissue days or weeks before surgery, allowing for greater flexibility in surgical planning.
Applications[edit | edit source]
Endomag's products are primarily used in the field of oncology, particularly in the treatment of breast cancer. The company's technology is used to improve the accuracy of tumor localization and lymph node biopsy, which are critical components of cancer surgery.
Impact[edit | edit source]
Endomag's innovations have had a significant impact on the field of cancer surgery. By providing non-radioactive alternatives for tumor and lymph node localization, the company has improved the safety and efficiency of surgical procedures. This has led to better outcomes for patients and has been widely adopted in hospitals around the world.
