What is the BioZorb Implant Supposed to Do?

The BioZorb implant, made by Hologic, is implanted during lumpectomy procedures. It is meant to be a temporary, bioabsorbable marker that helps facilitate radiation therapy treatments by clearly indicating to radiologists and radiation oncologists where the patient’s breast cancer has formed.

Problems with BioZorb Implants

Surveys and patient data show that BioZorb implants have a history of issues, including:

• 75% of patients report discomfort, pain, scarring, swelling, or skin irritation, ranging from mild to severe, at the site of the BioZorb implant.
• ~60% of patients noticed unusual breast size changes or the development of a large and uncomfortable lump at the site of the BioZorb implant.
• 40% of patients had BioZorb implants that took much longer than 12 months to dissolve (as advertised), and some took even longer than two years.

Side Effects of BioZorb Implants

People who have suffered unsafe side effects from a BioZorb implant usually experience:

• Rashes
• Skin irritation
• Chronic pain around the implant site
• Infections
• Fluid buildup
• Sensitivity around the implant site

For some patients, diagnostic imaging revealed that the BioZorb implant had migrated to another part of the breast. Device migration not only creates a risk of side effects but also undoes the original purpose of the implant acting as a marker for radiologists, which can create a host of other problems like ineffective cancer treatments and unnecessary exposure to radiation due to inaccurate radiation therapy applications.

Furthermore, if the side effects of a defective BioZorb implant are severe, surgery might be needed to remove it before more harm can be done. In this way, a defective BioZorb implant can also cause a patient to experience the risks of surgery.
