LIP ®
Dual Trigger breast tissue marker is a sterile, single use device comprised of a disposable introducer, and a
LTRA
metal implantable tissue marker with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The front and rear trigger buttons are color coded according to
the marker shape (e.g., Ice Blue = Ribbon, Yellow = Wing, Pink = Coil, Red = Heart, Violet = Venus). The introducer needle
has 1 cm reference marks and ultrasound enhancement on the distal end to aid in needle placement. The B
front trigger line up with the bevel of the needle to help with needle placement (See Figure 1).

The tissue marker, located inside the distal end of the introducer needle, is made of Titanium, Inconel
and contains a PVA polymer pellet interwoven with the marker to enhance viewing of the marker under ultrasound. Please
note this polymer is non-absorbable.
The metal and polymer marker may protrude from the needle and be visible as illustrated below.
Simulated use testing has demonstrated that when the metal and polymer marker protrude from the introducer needle, the

This device has been designed for single use only. Reusing this medical device bears the risk of cross-patient
contamination as medical devices – particularly those with long and small lumina, joints, and/or crevices
or microbial contamination have had contact with the medical device for an indeterminable period of time. The
residue of biological material can promote the contamination of the device with pyrogens or microorganisms
which may lead to infectious complications.
4.
Do not resterilize. After resterilization, the sterility of the product is not guaranteed because of an
indeterminable degree of potential pyrogenic or microbial contamination which may lead to infectious
complications. Cleaning, reprocessing and/or resterilization of the present medical device increases the
by thermal and/or mechanical changes.
