IN THEIR OWN WORDS

WORDS

Daniel R. Welchons, MD
Barrigel rectal spacer was very easy to teach my staff and can efficiently be performed between patients in my office practice. I find this procedure to be very satisfying. You can sculpt the gel to differing patient anatomy with excellent results.

Varun Sundaram, MD
In my experience, Barrigel rectal spacer is safe due to the ability to control its location and alter its placement during the procedure. This allows us to have a more uniform result in tougher cases where another procedure could result in delay of care.

Zachary Klaassen, MD, MSc
The ease-of-use injecting Barrigel rectal spacer allows the implanter to inject the spacer under no time constraint, and switch easily from sagittal to transverse ultrasound views for symmetrical, excellent coverage of the entire prostate gland. It’s a no-brainer.
