The FDA report indicates serious adverse events occurred in patients who had the devices implanted in breast tissue. Complications stemming from the BioZorb Markers include but are not limited to pain, infection, rash, device migration (moving out of position), device erosion (breaking through the skin), seroma (fluid buildup), and discomfort. Medical treatment and/or device removal has been needed for some patients.
BioZorb Markers are implantable devices used in soft tissue sites, including breast tissue. The BioZorb Markers are used to mark sites in soft tissue radiographically. The markers are also used in situations where the soft tissue site needs to be marked for future medical procedures. The BioZorb Markers have two parts: a plastic component that is intended to be dissolved completely in the patient’s body in one year or longer and a titanium metal component that is permanent.
