About Endomag
Endomag is a global technology company that believes everyone deserves a better standard of cancer care. Many of the world’s leading physicians and hospitals use the company’s technologies to help women with breast cancer avoid surgery whenit isn’t needed, and experience better outcomes when it is.
Originally founded in 2007 by professors at University College London (UCL) and the University of Houston, Endomag harnesses the power of magnetics to enable a better standard of cancer care. The heart of the company’s product platform is the Sentimag® localisation system. The Sentimag® system features a probe which works like a metal detector, and when placed near the skin’s surface is used to detect Endomag’s magnetic seed (Magseed®) or liquidtracer (Magtrace®), for tissue localisation and sentinel node biopsy procedures.
Endomag is a global company headquartered in Cambridge, UK, with an office in Austin, Texas.
To date, the company has helped tens of thousands of women around the world access more precise and less invasive breast cancer care.
