Profile: Biosphere Medical, Inc. focuses on applying proprietary microsphere technology to medical applications using embolotherapy techniques. Our core technologies, consisting of patented bio-engineered polymers and manufacturing methods, are used to produce miniature spherical beads with beneficial properties for a variety of medical applications. Our principal focus is the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids using a procedure called uterine fibroid embolization, or UFE. Our microsphere is a precisely calibrated, spherical, hydrophilic, micro-porous bead made of an acrylic co-polymer (trisacryl) which is then cross-linked with gelatin. This proprietary and patented design allows targeted occlusion of the blood vessels feeding a hypervascularized tumor or arteriovenous malformation. The hydrophilic surface and spherical shape prevent aggregation within the catheter lumen & in the vasculature. Our Sequitor™ steerable guide wire has a long distal tip designed to access pelvic & visceral anatomy, and enable better navigation through tortuous vessels or vasculature. Its durable atraumatic tip retains shape for selective vessel access without promoting spasm.
