How does Memocore™ work?
Memocore™ is inserted into the prostate in an unexpanded shape. Once positioned correctly sterile water above 55°C is flushed through the system, allowing the advanced nickel-titanium formula to expand. The expansions act as anchors keeping Memocore™ safely in place throughout the radiation therapy allowing it to act as a fixated marker for the radiation beam. Once therapy is concluded, sterile water below 7°C is flushed through the system, softening the coils whereby Memocore™ can be removed as easily as it was inserted.
