For Life After Radiation Treatment

More space for what matters.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the United States, aside from skin cancer.1 Considering options for your treatment plan can be daunting for the individuals going through treatment and their loved ones. Of the available treatments, radiation therapy is one of the most common and effective options.2 However, radiation can affect organs adjacent to the prostate, resulting in side effects such as rectal bleeding and diarrhea, urinary changes, and changes in sexual function.3

Introducing the BioProtect Balloon Spacer

BioProtect helps protect healthy organs from radiation and minimize side effects from radiation treatment. BioProtect is a small balloon made of medical-grade material that creates space between your prostate and rectum. Placed by a doctor during a pre-planned radiation preparation procedure, BioProtect reduces the amount of radiation your rectum receives during treatment — and is naturally absorbed by your body over time.4

The BioProtect Difference

The Benefits of BioProtect

BioProtect patients reported benefits in their quality of life up to 48 months after treatment compared to patients who did not use BioProtect.5* In the same comparison, BioProtect demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in sexual quality of life5* — and is the only spacer to have shown this result.
