of prostate radiation therapy1
In a recent clinical study, patients with Barrigel experienced significantly fewer long-term negative side effects than patients who did not receive Barrigel. Barrigel reduced the rate of complications including inflammation of the rectum (radiation proctitis), diarrhoea, and hemorrhoids.
The unique sculptable nature of Barrigel remains soft during insertion allowing your doctor to sculpt the spacer in place creating an optimal fit for your body.
BARRIGEL remains stable throughout the course of your treatment until it is safely and fully absorbed by your body.1
Barrigel is the only gel spacer that can be viewed clearly on ultrasound during the procedure.3 This added visibility during insertion provides your doctor greater control and precision over the placement of the spacer.
Barrigel is an advanced prostate spacer made from Non-Animal Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid (known as NASHA®)
NASHA has been used for over two decades in more than 50 million procedures in men, women, and children worldwide4
NASHA is a sculptable gel designed for precision and lifting,5 making it an ideal material for spacing
