Intact Medical Corp. launches new device
Intact Medical Corp. in Natick has debuted its Intact(R) Advance, a cutting tool used for minimally-invasive diagnosis of breast cancer.
The wand, available in 12mm, 15mm, and 20mm diameter sizes, allows the user to pinpoint the wand for optimal access to the lesion of interest. The device has received FDA 510(k) clearance for the complete or partial removal of an imaged abnormality.
Intact's device also helps reduce the number of steps required for specimen capture, and is vacuum-assisted to allow the wand to advance towards the legion after entry. The incision can be closed with a bandage, and does not require stitches. The procedure can be completed in outpatient setting with local anesthesia, in less than 10 seconds.
The privately-held Natick firm specializes in the development of minimally-invasive systems for the volumetric excision of tissue for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in select cancer markets.
