Product Description
LC Bead is a preformed, deformable microsphere consisting of a biocompatible, sulphonate-modified, N-Fil hydrogel.
LC Bead Features
- Calibrated size to ensure predictable embolization1
- Compressible design for smooth catheter delivery1
- Compatible with a large range of microcatheters1
- Blue tinted beads for enhanced visualization1
- Spherical shape for optimal control and delivery1
LC Bead M1
70-150μm beads allow:
- Controlled distal embolization results in a more homogeneous distribution in the targeted tissue2
- Greater likelihood of tumor necrosis2
- Less opportunity for the development of collateral circulation2
- Biocompatibles data on file
