20+% of breast conserving surgeries require re-excision. We want to make that 0%
To achieve clear margins, surgeons may remove more of the healthy breast tissue at the edges than is absolutely necessary – this approach may affect breast cosmetic outcomes post-operation.
A pre-operative breast MRI is typically taken in a prone position but the surgery takes place in a supine position, therefore, the prone MRI images are not very helpful.
Today’s tumor localization and tissue inspection technologies are unable to provide a complete and precise picture of the location, size, shape, depth, and edges of the tumor in the supine position to effectively aid surgeons with removing the entire tumor.
The leading approach, wire or seed localization, requires an invasive, inconvenient, and even painful pre-surgical procedure, inserting a wire or a seed to locate and mark the tumor. Localization results in 20-25% re-excision rates.
The Breast Cancer Locator™ System (BCL™) is a proprietary, patient-specific, 3D-printed surgical guidance system designed to achieve clear margins.
Every breast cancer tumor is unique. The tumor location, size, shape, depth and edges are difficult to identify with precision during surgery. Our BCL™ is designed to overcome these challenges.
The Visualizer™ provides an interactive 3D view of the area surrounding the tumor of the patient in the supine position –
the same position the patient is in on the Operating Room table.
For the first time, surgeons are using 3D visualization to localize and direct total breast cancer tumor removal.

It has been said that “simplicity” is the ultimate sophistication. To deliver an elegant solution requires complex analysis to understand the underlying challenges. In essence, it takes a lot of effort to make something simple.
The BCL™ System significantly reduces or eliminates guesswork regarding tumor size, shape, and location by providing a blueprint of the tumor and a surgical guide, thereby increasing precision in breast cancer surgery.
