Barrigel™ rectal spacer is intended to temporarily position the anterior rectal wall away from the prostate during radiotherapy for prostate cancer and, in creating this space, the intent is to reduce the radiation dose delivered to the anterior rectum. It is composed of biodegradable material and maintains space for the entire course of prostate radiotherapy treatment and is intended to be absorbed by the patient’s body over time.

It should only be administered by qualified and properly trained physicians with experience in ultrasound guidance and injection techniques in the urogenital/pelvic area.

Potential complications include but are not limited to: pain associated with the injection; needle penetration or injection of Barrigel rectal spacer into the bladder, prostate, rectal wall, rectum, urethra, or intravascularly; local inflammatory reactions; infection; urinary retention; rectal mucosal damage, ulcers, necrosis; bleeding; constipation; and rectal urgency. Contraindicated in prostate cancer patients with clinical stage T4 disease. Individual results may vary. Visit barrigel.com.

CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
