Accelerating the speed of discovery and diagnosis.Laboratories around the world are challenged to improve efficiency and reduce costs

without compromising the integrity of patient samples. The Panther® and Tigris® DTS®

molecular testing systems and the Tomcat® sample transfer instrument bring the

power of automation to clinical testing. We continually invest in the development

of new technology to streamline workflow and give laboratories greater freedom and

flexibility, while delivering the most sensitive, accurate, and precise assays.

The science of early detection.When it comes to screening for cervical cancer and infectious diseases, the earlier the better. Our innovative assays and automated systems work seamlessly together to promote early detection, treatment, and better, cost-effective clinical outcomes.

Protecting women from cancer and STIs. Transforming the way the world fights viral disease.

We introduced the first FDA-cleared diagnostic test kit for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) nearly 30 years ago. In 1996, we revolutionized cervical cancer screening with our ThinPrep® Pap test, now the most widely used cervical specimen collection product in the world.

Today, our state-of-the-art Aptima® assays quickly identify diseases like chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis at early stages. ThinPrep is the only FDA-approved test that boosts lab productivity by allowing for integrated screening for cervical cell abnormalities and HPV testing from a single sample with our Aptima® HPV assays. Screening with Pap+HPV Together™, also known as co-testing, is now the preferred method for cervical cancer screening for women between the ages of 30 and 65.

Hologic’s commitment to women’s health continues with Aptima® Mycoplasma genitalium assay – the first fully automated NAAT test that can pinpoint M. genitalium infections with precision.*

In addition we offer the fetal Fibronectin (fFN) test – a safe, reliable way to predict the risk of pre-term birth with 99.2% accuracy.4

Procleix® assays, developed in partnership with Grifols and manufactured by Hologic increase the safety of the world’s donated blood supply by accurately detecting the genetic presence of viruses, including HIV, hepatitis C, hepatitis B and the West Nile Virus. With 79% of the U.S. blood supply tested with Hologic assays, the risk of contacting dangerous diseases from blood transfusions is less than 1 in 1 million.5

Hologic assays go beyond aiding in the diagnosis and screening. They’re also used to monitor patients who have already been diagnosed and help clinicians better manage treatment. The Aptima® HIV-1 Quant Dx assay is the first HIV viral load assay for both diagnosis and treatment monitoring.** Hologic also launched the Aptima® HCV Quant Dx and Aptima® HBV Quant assays, creating a broad and deep viral testing menu on our Panther system.*

* CE-marked; not available for sale in the U.S. ** CE-IVD certified; not available for sale in the U.S.

Million ThinPrep® Pap tests have been performed since the product was introduced.

See what others miss. 41%Hologic Genius™ 3D MAMMOGRAPHY™ exams detect 41% more invasive breast cancers, while simultaneously reducing unnecessary recalls by 15%, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.1

Genius™ 3D MAMMOGRAPHY™ exams have revolutionized breast cancer detection. Today, our technology is helping find breast cancers earlier, while reducing recall rates and false positives.1,2,3

Available only on the Hologic Selenia® Dimensions® system, our 3D MAMMOGRAPHY™ exam is proven clinically superior to conventional mammography. More than 10 million women in the U.S. have benefited from this breakthrough exam.6

3D™ Mammograms deliver countless advantages — not only for the women who benefit from early detection, but also for the physicians who care for them and the facilities that offer this life-saving technology.

Compassionate care when she needs it most.

When a woman faces the possibility of breast cancer, her life takes a detour. But with world-class screening, diagnostic and treatment technologies, Hologic is there at every major touch point to guide the way.

We offer advanced biopsy devices and guidance systems for every imaging technology. And our Trident™ system enables physicians to evaluate tissue samples on the spot, right in the biopsy suite, for quick, accurate diagnoses.

If a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer – and her cancer is caught early and is localized – she can take advantage of our powerful five-day MammoSite® targeted radiation treatment to get back to her life sooner.

Heavy menstrual bleeding is a major health problem that interrupts life for millions of women. In fact, one in every five women suffers from what is known as abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) by the time she reaches menopause. Hologic offers women two frontline options to treat this challenging health problem.

While AUB can negatively affect a woman’s comfort, confidence and quality of life, she can take back control by choosing the simple, five-minute, minimally invasive NovaSure® procedure. There are no incisions with this one-time, customized treatment. It can be quickly performed in the office or operating room. And over 90% of women return to normal, light or no periods at all, which may reduce the number of unnecessary hysterectomies.

Hologic also offers a minimally invasive way for gynecologists to remove often painful polyps and fibroids that may be the root cause of uterine bleeding. The Hologic MyoSure® procedure enables fast, safe removal of intrauterine pathology in less than 15 minutes – without having to make a single incision.

With up to 10 years of clinical data to support the effectiveness of our minimally invasive gynecological solutions, Hologic is the recognized leader in treating AUB.

Can you change a life in just minutes?

Bone health is a major issue for both men and women. That’s why Hologic is committed to supporting the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis at the earliest stage possible. We understand how important it is to keep bones strong and healthy, so you can continue to stay physically active and live life to its fullest.

We were the first company to introduce a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry system, setting the standard for bone densitometry. Now we’ve taken it to the next level with our Horizon™ DXA platform.

This state-of-the-art solution is designed to create exceptional images and detailed diagnostic information that reveal what’s going on inside a person’s body, regardless of his or her size or shape. It’s the only DXA system to offer a single-energy femur exam capability that allows physicians to visualize atypical femur fractures —

a debilitating condition that can result from long-term use of common osteoporosis therapies.

In addition to accurately screening for osteoporosis, the Horizon DXA system combines a wealth of advanced, proprietary technologies to assess obesity and identify aortic calcifications, a significant predictor of cardiovascular disease. Our high quality clinical images enable doctors to see more so they can make informed diagnoses and treatment decisions in time to have a positive impact on every patient’s health and well-being.

Reveal small details before they become big health problems.

With the Horizon DXA system, a 10-second spine and femur

scan can help clinicians assess the patient’s risk of a fracture.
