Hologic launches Trident HD biopsy radiography device

Hologic has launched its Trident HD specimen radiography system in the U.S.

The Trident HD system delivers enhanced image quality and improved workflow with instant sample verification during breast-conserving surgeries and stereotactic breast biopsies. It features a bigger detector that gives clinicians a complete image of larger breast surgical specimens and a variety of surgical and biopsy samples.

“The Trident HD system is a breakthrough solution that delivers the superior image quality clinicians have come to expect from Hologic products, helping to streamline workflows and reduce recalls while decreasing procedure times,” Pete Valenti, president of Hologic’s breast and skeletal health solutions division, said in a press release. “We are committed to identifying and addressing the challenges of our customers and their patients at every step of the breast health journey, and our expanding product portfolio is evidence of that commitment.”

The system also eliminates the need to transport specimens for imaging. It is 37% smaller than its predecessor and can be moved around easily in crowded operating or procedure rooms. Mammography and biopsy images are able to be displayed on the Trident HD high-resolution monitor to help speed up comparison and analysis for reduced procedure times.
