Hologic's flagship biopsy device, ATEC , allows for confidence in each procedure. Patients and clinicians are at the forefront of our design with a fully closed system, fluid management, and consistent acquisition of high quality tissue samples.

The ATEC is also cleared for partial or complete removal of breast tissue for diagnostic sampling.
