Summary

The BioProtect Balloon Implant™ System is intended to temporarily position the anterior rectal wall away from the prostate during radiotherapy for prostate cancer and in creating this space it is the intent of the balloon to reduce the radiation dose delivered to the anterior rectum. The balloon composed of a biodegradable material that maintains that space for the entire course of prostate radiotherapy treatment and is completely absorbed by the patient's body over time.
