The engineering team at Cortex has been developing radiotherapy specific medical devices for well over 20 years, pioneering implanted fiducial localization and helping treatment facilities achieve superior levels of accuracy. Our patented mixed-media markers enable clinicians to visualize our fiducials in any imaging modality.

 

Polymark

The Polymark is composed of a proprietary, low density polymer, which minimizes artifact, is visible in kV, MRI, CBCT and ultrasound, and is ideal for both photon and proton-based treatments.

PM-1.0-3-18-20 PolyMark 1.0 MM x 3 MM Polymer Marker in an 18 GA-20 CM Needle
PM-1.0-3-18-25 PolyMark 1.0 MM x 3 MM Polymer Marker in an 18 GA-25 CM Needle
PM-1.0-5-18-20 PolyMark 1.0 MM x 5 MM Polymer Marker in an 18 GA-20 CM Needle
PM-0.8-3 (4) PolyMark 0.8 MM x 3 MM Polymer Markers (4 Pack, Loose)

Fleximarc G/T

The Fleximarc G/T consists of two knurled gold nodes connected by a thin titanium filament.  Because of the low density and high magnetic susceptibility of titanium, this marker images as two distinct markers in CT/kV/CBCT, while having enhanced visibility in MRI.  The Fleximarc G/T is an excellent option for SpaceOAR cases, intrafractional tracking with Synchrony or Varian’s ABH, or any case where MR fusion is prescribed.

FM-1.2-2-10-GT-17-20 FlexiMarc G/T 1.2 MM - 2 Node, 10 MM Space GT Marker in a 17 GA-20 CM Needle
FM-1.2-2-20-GT-17-20 FlexiMarc G/T 1.2 MM - 2 Node, 20 MM Space GT Marker in a 17 GA-20 CM Needle

FusionCoil

The FusionCoil marker consists of an open spiral gold coil with a titanium alloy core.  Because of the low density and high magnetic susceptibility of titanium, the FusionCoil’s unique design reduces the CT imaging artifact seen with other gold markers while enhancing visibility in MRI.  The FusionCoil is also available in a linked version, providing two 5MM FusionCoils separated by a 2CM bioabsorbable spacer, reducing needle sticks and providing a stable, defined spacing between the markers.  It is also available in cartridge kits for lung cases, reducing the number of needle sticks, chance of edema or pneumothorax.

FC-1.0-20-18-5 FusionCoil 1.0 MM x 20.0 MM in an 18 GA-5 CM cartridge

PointCoil

The PointCoil marker is the smaller version of the FlexiCoil.  It consists of a 5 MM open spiral gold coil with a solid gold central node, providing a single imaging point for IGRT.  The PointCoil is also available in cartridge kits, reducing the number of needle sticks, chance of edema or pneumothorax.

PC-0.8-1-5-GG-18-5 PointCoil 0.8 MM x 5.0 MM in an 18 GA-5CM cartridge
PC-0.6-1-5-GG-20-20 PointCoil 0.6 MM x 5.0 MM in an 20 GA-20CM long needle (special order only)
PC-0.9-1-5-GG-18-20 PointCoil 0.9 MM x 5.0 MM in an 18-GA-20CM long needle (special order only)

FlexiCoil

The FlexiCoil marker is helical gold coil with solid node endpoints.  This unique design reduces marker migration and provides clearly definable endpoints unlike other helical markers.

FC-1.2-2-20-GG-17-20 FlexiCoil 1.2 MM x 20 MM in a 17 GA-20CM long needle (special order only)

FlexiMarc

The FlexiMarc marker is the gold-on-gold counterpart of the Fleximarc G/T, consisting of two knurled gold nodes connected by a thin gold filament.  This barbell shape is inherently stable by design, reducing migration and providing distinct nodes for easier, more consistent image registration.
