The Gold Standard in Stereotactic Biopsy

The MultiCare® Platinum prone stereotactic breast biopsy system offers exceptional image
quality and precise, efficient operation using leading-edge targeting and guidance technology.
The MultiCare system features our exclusive contoured surface with centered aperture to
optimize efficiency. Our C-arm can be positioned at any angle, providing true 360 degree
access to ensure easy access with the shortest skin-to-lesion distance, allowing direct access
to inferior lesions.

The MultiCare system is designed to provide enhanced patient comfort, efficient space
utilization, and ease of operator use. The space-efficient design allows installation within 15
inches from the wall, optimizing use of existing space. In addition to providing you efficient and
precise breast biopsy technology, we also understand that patient care and comfort is a major
concern. Hologic has developed the MultiCare Maximum Comfort Package, offering a collection
of ergonomically engineered cushions that provide targeted pressure point support for all body
types and lesions.
