Interventional Medicine

BTG’s interventional medicine business was created through the acquisition of Biocompatibles, a medical device company with significant expertise in the field of drug-device combination products. Our primary products are drug-eluting and bland beads for the local and targeted treatment of liver cancer and the embolisation of blood vessels feeding tumours. We also manufacture and market radioactive products for the treatment of prostate cancer and possess significant know-how around algenate-based regenerative medicine. In 2012, our interventional medicine sales force began direct sales of our bead products in the US. In addition, our interventional medicine business includes a number of development programmes including next generation drug-eluting beads and Varisolve^® (polidocanol endovenous microfoam (PEM)) for the treatment of varicose veins.
