Durasphere IFU

Durasphere is a sterile, nonpyrogenic injectable bulking material composed of pyrolytic carbon coated graphite  beads suspended in a water based carrier gel containing beta glucan. The pyrolytic carbon coated beads are designed to have a minimum dimension of ninety microns and a maximum dimension of two hundred twelve microns.

Durasphere is injected sub-mucosally at the bladder neck. The injection of Durasphere creates increased tissue bulk and subsequent coaptation of the bladder neck and/or urethra. Durasphere should be used only with the Carbon Medical Technologies Injection Needle (specifically CMT catalog numbers 890-XXX).
