Mammography and Vertebroplasty product lines are marching ahead

Summer has arrived and with it, vacation time. Before departing for our well deserved holidays, we wanted to take a look at our results: How did we do in the first six months? Are we within the plan? The Somatex team had set high goals for itself for 2007. The first look at the results before the summer break showed that these goals are within grasp despite their height. An increase in sales of 10 percent compared to the same period of last year makes it much easier to relax during the summer break! We are especially happy about the resounding success of our new products (Tumark Professional, DUO-System PREMIUM and the All-inclusive-Packages for Vertebroplasty). Since their introduction at the start of the year, they have already contributed 15 percent to total sales, and they continue to rise.

Above-average growth can also be seen in the Mammography/ Tumor Marking and Vertebroplasty product lines. With an increase of more than 20 percent, they have become the front runners of our company.

Therefore, in addition to the regular "Vertebroplasty" feature, this time with a focus on "Fracture Calssifications" by our product manager, Mr. Weise we introduce you to our complete Mammography/ Tumor Marking product line today.

We wish you enjoyable reading and a nice relaxing summer holiday!

Your SOMATEX team

P.S. And by the way: The Somatex team is available for you every day also in summer, despite high temperatures an vacation time.

Fracture classifications                
(author: Thammo Weise)

The number of vertebral fractures differentiated in the literature in the thoracic and lumbar region alone far exceeds 60 (according to F.Magerl, M. Aebi, S. Nazarian), these are precisely described with a combination of letters and numbers. Three main groups are classified depending on the cause of the fracture. The upper case letter A encompasses fractures arising from compressive forces (pressure), which, above all, affect the vertebra itself. Strain and bending fractures are identified with B and vertebral fractures from dislocations due to torsion (twisting) with C. Structures of the bone in the immediate vicinity can be damaged here. ...(read complete article)

  Product

Mammography/ Tumor Marking

Somatex offers various systems for tumor diagnosis and therapy.

DUO-System TULOC DUO-System PREMIUM

DUO-System - Correctable Localization System

If a repositioning is required, the marker wire can be easily pulled back into the cannula an reused for a further marking. The double arches provide firm anchorage in the tissue and therwith prevent dislocations in any directions.

TULOC - Tumor localizer with increased pressure stability

Thanks to increased pressure stability and an extremely sharp beveling of the cannula and the wire tips, TULOC even allows for an easy and safe penetration of solid tumor tissue.

DUO-System PREMIUM - for easy, single-handed operation

It offers doctors and patients top quality, absolute reliability and highest comfort for the preoperative markeing of suspicious tissue. DUO-System PREMIUM is particularly userfriendly for ultrasound treatments as it can be used single-handedly. This allows the user to make markings simultaneoussy to guiding the ultrasound transducer.

 Tumark  Tumark Professional

Tumark Professional - The innovative marker system

With Tumark tumors can be marked in a gentle way and with minimum invasion before cytostatic or radiation treatment begins. Following successful chemo or radiation therapy, the tissue area concerned can be reliably and quickly found again. Somatex offers two different systems in two versions: standard and MRI compatible. The marker is MRI compatible up to 3 Tesla in any case. Specially feature of Tumark Professional is the new ergonomic handle for single-handed operation. The design of the marker is also different. The special U-design is ideally suited for marking a biopsy sample removal point after vacuum biopsy.
