RectalPro Endorectal Baloon (ERB)
The RectalPro™ Endo Rectal Balloon (ERB) is intended to be used during all the phases of radiation therapy, including treatment planning, image verification, and radiotherapy delivery.
The RectalPro™ ERB is designed as an immobilizer to assist in positioning the prostate in a more predictable and reproducible location during Computed Tomography (CT) exam and X-ray, when these imaging techniques are used for Radiation Therapy (RT) planning. The ERB is inserted into the rectum and inflated prior to the start of a CT scan or RT therapy procedure. The device stabilizes the prostate once the device is inflated. The ERB is deflated and removed after each individual scan or therapy procedure is complete, and a new balloon is used in the next therapy session.
