The only hyaluronic acid rectal spacer for prostate cancer patients. Safe. Symmetric. Stable.
About us
Barrigel is the first and only sculptable, hyaluronic acid rectal spacer. FDA-cleared, CE-Marked, and TGA-cleared, Barrigel protects the rectum from radiation exposure during radiotherapy treatment for prostate cancer. Barrigel is a non-polymerizing, hypoechoic implant that gives physicians the ability to sculpt, layer and customize for optimal positioning and more complete protection of the healthy tissues. Barrigel is made from Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA). NASHA is a well-known technology in aesthetic markets as the dermal filler, Restylane®, and has been used for more than two decades in over 50 million medical procedures worldwide. Barrigel is approved for use in the United States, Europe and Australia. Learn more at Barrigel.com. BARRIGEL is used to increase the distance between the prostate and the anterior rectal wall, with the intent of decreasing radiation dose delivered to the rectum when treating prostate cancer with radiation. The product should be injected into the anterior perirectal fat. BARRIGEL shall only be administered by qualified and properly trained physicians with experience in ultrasound guidance and injection techniques in the urogenital/pelvic area. Barrigel is contraindicated in prostate cancer patients with clinical stage T4 disease. As with any medical treatment, there are some risks involved with the use of BARRIGEL. Potential complications associated with the use of BARRIGEL include, but are not limited to: pain associated with BARRIGEL injection; needle penetration of the bladder, prostate, rectal wall, rectum, or urethra; injection of BARRIGEL 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. More information on Indications, contraindications, warnings and instructions for use can be found in the Instructions For Use at www.barrigel.com.
