DESIGNED FOR CONTROLLED AND TARGETED EMBOLIZATION

UNIQUE FORMULATION


HydroPearl® Microspheres are the first and only Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) microspheres. They are engineered for accurate embolization at the target area.1,2

TIGHT CALIBRATION


HydroPearl® is available in a range of sizes from 75 μm to 1100 μm with a tighter size distribution*.

This precise calibration may allow more predictable and targeted embolization 1,2**

AVAILABLE IN 6 DISTINCT, COLOR-CODED SIZES

HydroPearl® distinct color coding reinforces your confidence in procedural success with the added assurance for proper syringe selection.

* 90% or higher of HydroPearl sizes are within specification as indicated on the labels.
** Calibration data is 6 lots per each size of randomly selected HydroPearl with 1 lot of competitive products. Sampling done at minimum 150 microspheres per syringe.
