Uterine Embolization Product Overview

Our first product, Embosphere® Microspheres, has been on the market in the U.S. since April, 2000. Our new, visible microsphere product, EmboGold™ Microspheres, was launched in the U.S. in September, 2001. We have completed Phase I and Phase II for FDA clearance to add the indication of treating uterine fibroids. The Company expects to have this approval by the end of 2002. In March of 2002, we received both CE and Canadian approvals to sell EmboGold Microspheres in Europe and Canada.

Controlled, Targeted Uterine Embolization

Preparation and Administration for Uterine Embolization
One of the major benefits to Embosphere® Microspheres and EmboGold™ Microspheres is the packaging design which allows ease of use. In order to leverage the benefits derived from the packaging, it is important to follow some very simple preparation and administration steps. Please contact your local sales representative to schedule an in-service with one of our clinical specialists.

BioSphere Medical's microspheres are precisely calibrated, spherical, hydrophilic, micro-porous beads made of an acrylic co-polymer (trisacryl) which is then cross-linked with gelatin. This proprietary and patented design allows a more complete and targeted occlusion of the blood vessels feeding a hypervascularized tumor or arteriovenous malformation. Furthermore, the hydrophilic surface and spherical shape prevent aggregation within the catheter lumen and in the vasculature, promoting ease and accuracy of delivery. Finally, the elastic properties of the microspheres also allow the temporary deformation of the sphere, which facilitates the passage through small delivery systems. Uterine Embolization, the future is now.
