The Barrigel™ Rectal Spacer is a sculptable, hyaluronic acid-based implant designed to temporarily separate the rectum from the prostate during radiation therapy for prostate cancer. This separation aims to reduce radiation exposure to the rectum, thereby minimizing gastrointestinal side effects. Composed of Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA®), Barrigel™ is biocompatible, biodegradable, and remains pliable during placement, allowing for real-time customization to patient anatomy. Its visibility under transrectal ultrasound facilitates precise placement, ensuring optimal protection throughout the course of radiotherapy.
