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.
