Endoscopic Marker

Product Overview

The Endoscopic Marker is indicated for endoscopically marking lesions in the GI tract when the endoscopist anticipates the lesion will require surgical removal within 30 days.

How the Endoscopic Marker Works

An endoscopic marker provides a method of marking target tissue and lesions on the wall of a patient’s stomach or colon during an endoscopic procedure. The mark provides a reference point for subsequent removal of the tissue. Using an endoscopic marker for endoscopic tattooing supports quick localization of target lesions and the correct spot is evaluated.

A GI marker or endoscopic tattoo agent is delivered by an injection needle advanced through the working channel of an endoscope. Endoscopic tattooing is indicated to facilitate localization of luminal abnormality at the time of surgery or repeat endoscopic examination.¹ This is typically applied near large or advanced lesions during polypectomies.

The Endoscopic Marker comes in a 5ml prefilled syringe. In order to use, unfasten the cap. Attach the syringe to the luer fitting on a 23-to-25-gauge injection needle and insert into the biopsy channel of the endoscope. When the needle is properly positioned, insert the tip 30-45 degrees tangentially into the submucosal space of the colon and inject .5 to .75ml of the marker.

Why the Endoscopic Marker?

The Endoscopic Marker offers the following product features:

• No shake necessary – Allows for stable suspension of the ink
• Stable emulsion – Does not migrate, resulting in dark and permanent marks
• Prefilled syringe with 5ml of marking fluid – Simplified preparation with ready-to-use product design
