Product Description

LC Bead is a preformed, deformable microsphere consisting of a biocompatible, sulphonate-modified, N-Fil hydrogel.

LC Bead Features

  • Calibrated size to ensure predictable embolization1
  • Compressible design for smooth catheter delivery1
  • Compatible with a large range of microcatheters1
  • Blue tinted beads for enhanced visualization1
  • Spherical shape for optimal control and delivery1

LC Bead M1

70-150μm beads allow:

  • Controlled distal embolization results in a more homogeneous distribution in the targeted tissue2
  • Greater likelihood of tumor necrosis
  • Less opportunity for the development of collateral circulation2
