Bens1, thanks for mentioning the BioProtect spacer. I get it next month for HDR Brachy at UCLA, but it's relatively new compared with SpaceOar so I rarely see it mentioned.
The main advantage of BioProtect is the extra spacing it provides compared with SpaceOar. I believe BioProtect is also a bit easier to work with.
Downsides of BioProtect? I haven't seen any mentioned.
Maybe someone with first-hand experience will chime in.

Hi RetiredBoomer71,

May I ask about your experience with the BioProtect spacer and HDR brachy at UCLA? I may be following in your footsteps and would really appreciate any specifics you can give about both the balloon and the HDR experience at UCLA. Would you recommend the balloon? And is there a HDR physician there that you can also suggest? Thanks for any details you can provide.
