Rectal Spacers in Prostate Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy

The BioProtect Balloon Implant System is intended to temporarily position the anterior rectal wall away from the prostate during radiotherapy for prostate cancer, and by creating this space, to reduce the radiation dose delivered to the anterior rectum. The balloon is inserted into the perirectal space and inflated to its pre-defined size. The Balloon is made of biodegradable materials that maintain the space for the entire course of prostate radiation treatment and are absorbed by the patient's body over time
