About SCOUT®
The SCOUT Breast Tumor Localization System features the first and only FDA-cleared implant used in wire-free localization that can be implanted long term, providing physicians with maximum flexibility to place the reflector for localization at any time during the continuum of care. The reflector will not interfere with MRI studies, which is critical when implants are placed long term. During the lumpectomy or surgical biopsy, the surgeon scans the breast using the SCOUT guide, which emits 50 million pulses per second, to “lock” on to the reflector’s position. The SCOUT Real-time Distance System is the only wire-free technology to offer 60mm detection range and 360° detection with ±1mm accuracy. This more advanced level of localization precision allows better surgical planning that may improve cosmetic results, as less tissue may need to be removed.
SCOUT has received significant recognition from medical societies and industry associations including, most recently, being honored as a Gold winner at the 2017 Medical Design Excellence Awards.
About Radar Technology
The SCOUT system uses highly sophisticated radar technology. Radar is used when unprecedented precision is required. Applications using radar include ground penetrating radar, automobile safety systems, flight control systems and antimissile and air-defense systems.
