Biozorb Placement:

Biozorb is an implantable device, placed by surgeons, that marks the surgical site of tissue removal in 3D.  The bioabsorbable framework allows tissue in-growth, clips provide unique 3D marking of the surgical site and the framework is resorbed in a year or more.  This identification of the site of the cancer is useful in planning radiation treatments as well as monitoring the area of surgery over time. 

Combining the framework from the implantation of the Biozorb with oncoplastic and Hidden Scar techniques adds one additional method by which we can affect a more pleasing cosmetic result during surgery.  While continuing to provide patients with the best advances and most options in breast care
we are pleased to be the only facility in Central Alabama offering Biozorb Placement to our patients. 

We would love to talk with you about this approach to surgical care for breast cancer and help determine if this is a good fit for you. Give our office a call at 205-930-0806 to schedule a consultation.
