The Mammotome® Breast Biopsy, manufactured by Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., can help a doctor make a highly accurate diagnosis without the need for open surgery. Through the use of computer imaging (x-ray and ultrasound), a breast abnormality can be clearly identified and mapped, even in its earliest stages. Digital imaging enables a physician to use the computer-guided Mammotome® probe to gently collect tissue samples through one small ¼-inch incision.

With the Mammotome® system, a breast biopsy can be performed at Holzer Clinic in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. This allows our physicians to make a precise analysis with minimal pain, scarring and recovery time. The entire procedure generally takes less than an hour, and patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately afterward.
