Testimonial – Transrectal implantation
“We have not seen any complications from the use of Gold Anchors. On the contrary, the application process is much easier than for other fiducial markers, since with Gold Anchor we do not have to use local anesthesia – giving local anesthesia would be more painful than implanting the fine needle marker. We have between 5-8 patients per week and have never had any infections since we started using Gold Anchors in 2009. When we started with gold markers, we used prophylactic antibiotic, Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily, for three days before implantation, but since autumn 2010 we use two Bactrim Forte pills as a single dose two hours before the implantation.”
