SpaceOar Vue System indications, safety, and warnings

SpaceOAR Vue System is intended to temporarily position the anterior rectal wall away from the prostate during radiotherapy for prostate cancer and in creating this space it is the intent of SpaceOAR Vue System to reduce the radiation dose delivered to the anterior rectum.¹ The SpaceOAR Vue System is composed of biodegradable material and maintains space for the entire course of prostate radiotherapy treatment and is completely absorbed by the patient’s body over time.

You see it when you CT it.

SpaceOAR Vue Hydrogel is the only FDA-cleared radiopaque PEG-based perirectal hydrogel spacer designed for CT visibility to help optimize radiotherapy treatment planning for prostate cancer.¹

How it works

SpaceOAR Vue Hydrogel, the next-generation hydrogel perirectal spacer is designed to offer enhanced visibility on CT. Due to the close proximity between the rectum and the prostate, radiation therapy can unintentionally cause rectal toxicity. SpaceOAR Vue Hydrogel is designed to help reduce the radiation delivered to the rectum during treatment.¹

Why choose SpaceOAR Vue Hydrogel

The radiopacity is designed to improve the contouring accuracy during treatment plan creation, when compared to SpaceOAR Hydrogel.¹

Reducing the need for a post-implant MRI may reduce the overall treatment costs per patient and the hospital staff’s time spent in obtaining reimbursement authorization¹

The visibility of SpaceOAR Vue Hydrogel on a CT scan is designed to help reduce under- or over-contouring of the prostate and rectum for improved accuracy (when compared to SpaceOAR Hydrogel) and potentially more precise treatment planning¹

SpaceOAR Vue Hydrogel: The Next-Generation Radiopaque Hydrogel Spacer

Clinical summary: “Summarized findings of adding the potential for CT visibility to SpaceOAR Vue Hydrogel is anticipated to expand hydrogel accessibility for patients who cannot undergo MRI, eliminate dependence on MRI for hydrogel contouring, assist in daily IGRT, and further improve the convenience of hydrogel placement.”
