Gel-Bead™ Embolization Spheres

Bioresorbable gelatin spheres designed for targeted embolization

Bioresorbable

Gel-Bead™ Embolization Spheres demonstrated degradation beginning at 4 weeks with some spheres still present at 12 weeks.*

4 Week Histology

20x magnification, H&E stain

Gel-Bead™ 100-300μm Sphere implant site at 4 weeks. As shown above, Gel-Bead™ Spheres began to demonstrate significant degradation (arrows), mediated by the infiltration of inflammatory cells.

12 Week Histology
