Magtrace®

A simple solution for breast cancer staging

Iron oxide. Sugar. Salt. Water. Four simple ingredients that together provide a safe and flexible way to stage early breast cancer.

Particles optimized for nodes

The tiny particles are optimized for migration and uptake in the lymph nodes, providing a clear signal as well as visual guidance when performing sentinel node biopsy procedures.

Everything you need. Any time you need it.

Magtrace® is a single injection, dual-tracer that works in minutes. It remains in the sentinel lymph nodes for at least a month, so you can plan injections to suit you and your patient.

Put patient comfort first

Eliminate patient pain by injecting Magtrace® in the OR after anesthesia. If injected days before surgery, Magtrace can cause less discomfort than radioactive isotopes.

No benefit? No surgery. No brainer.

Up to 80% of high-risk DCIS patients can avoid unnecessary lymph node surgery with Magtrace®. With its 30-day detection window, you only need to proceed with axillary surgery once pathology confirms there’s a benefit.

Seed plus tracer, working in harmony

Magrace® can be paired with the Magseed Pro® to perform tissue localization and axillary staging together, using just one probe.

Why magnetic tracers?

Magnetic tracers have been designed to simplify breast cancer staging, to make it more convenient, more widely available and never compromising on clinical effectiveness.

  • Accurate

    Clinical trials have shown Magtrace® to be non-inferior to the combination of radioisotope +/- blue dyes.

  • Safe

    No reported allergic reactions or anaphylaxis in over 100,000 cases.

  • Flexible

    Inject up to days or weeks prior to surgery without compromising the efficacy or accuracy.

  • Radiation-free

    Iron oxide. Sugar. Salt. Water. A simple solution to replace radioactive tracers.

Trusted by experts, demanded by patients
