SIR-Spheres® Y-90 resin microspheres
SIR-Spheres® Y-90 resin microspheres from SIRTeX are a medical device used in selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT).
The microspheres are extremely small resin beads, approximately 32 microns in diameter, about a third of the width of a human hair. They have a density similar to that of blood cells which allows them to travel easily within the bloodstream. Y-90 resin microspheres contain the radioactive element yttrium-90, which delivers radiation over a relatively short distance in human tissue. SIR-Spheres® Y-90 resin microspheres work from the inside, targeting radiation to the tumors.
