Bead Block
From Embolisation Beads
Bead Block is an embolic device intended for the purpose of embolising the blood vessels of a variety of hypervascularised tumours (e.g. uterine fibroids) and arteriovenous malformations. Bead Block is a preformed, deformable microsphere consisting of a biocompatible, acrylamido polyvinyl alcohol macromer. Bead Block compressible microspheres are used in embolisation therapy. This is a minimally invasive (non-surgical) procedure performed by an interventional radiologist. By blocking the blood supply to the target area, the tumour or malformation is starved of nutrients and shrinks in size.

Bead Block microspheres are produced from a biocompatible polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel. The microspheres are tinted blue for easy visualisation and are supplied pre-filled colour coded syringes for added procedural safety and efficiency.
Bead Block received CE Mark approval in Europe in June 2003 and Bead Block is most commonly used for the treatment of uterine fibroids and other benign (non-malignant) tumours.
Bead Block embolic agent offers:
- Proven performance for the embolisation of hypervascular tumours and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), including Uterine Fibroids
- Blue-tinted beads, in prefilled, colour-coded syringes for added convenience and safety
- Precisely calibrated sizing for effective and accurate embolisation
- Compressible spherical embolic with 100% elastic shape recovery for easier delivery
- Confidence of product and clinical support from Biocompatibles – leaders in embolisation technology
Embolisation of hypervascular renal tumours in combination therapy
Bead Block embolic agent offers the benefits associated with targeted occlusion of renal vessels and is ideally suited for super-selective arterial embolisation. Recent studies* have demonstrated that super selective embolisation of renal tumours prior to resection or ablation may offer the following benefits:
- Preservation of renal function
- Reduced RFA heat sink effect
- Reduced probability of bleeding
- Eliminate the need to clamp renal vessels
