Pre-Planned Products
The pre-planned technique remains a popular method of performing low dose rate prostate brachytherapy implants, and Biocompatibles offers a full range of product options to accommodate any pre-loaded procedure. Both strands and loose-loads are available in premier, flagship, and value product tiers. Each product can be provided on its own or in combination with any other pre-planned product.
Strands and loose spacers are made from a proprietary combination of synthetic, bioabsorbable polymers consisting of polyglycolic acid (PGA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and polydioxanone (PDS). Strands and loose spacers are absorbed via enzymatic reaction over 180 to 220 days.
"Biocompatibles’ stranded product is by far the simplest
and easiest to use with pre-loaded needles. We can always
be assured that each strand is placed in the most precise
position possible."
