As well as achieving occlusions with a large surface area, the unique fluid absorbing properties of HepaSphere ™ microspheres minimise unwanted tracking beyond the embolisation site.
Occlusions that conform to the site anatomy
Each HepaSphere microsphere immediately absorbs fluid on delivery, causing it to expand - up to four times the dry state diameter becoming soft and flexible, without any loss of integrity. The enlarged sphere then conforms to the occlusion site anatomy to form a moulded occlusion with a large surface area.
HepaSphere microspheres can be delivered using EmboCath ™, Hydrophilic Infusion Catheter.
HepaSphere microspheres provide versatile therapy options
HepaSphere microspheres are designed for bland as well as chemo-embolisation.
HepaSphere microspheres are compatible and can be mixed with chemotherapeutic agents such as Ethiodol, Cisplatin, Epirubicin, Doxorubicin, Fluorouracil, Mitomycin etc.*
The swelling properties of the functionalized polymer used in HepaSphere microspheres provides a high drug absorbing capability.
