"In our initial experience using the Alatus vaginal balloon packing system, we found that the Alatus packing was either superior or at least equivalent to traditional vaginal packing in the displacement of bowel and rectum in the same women. This better displacement has resulted in lower radiation doses to both rectum and bladder favoring the Alatus system. Additionally, the Alatus packing has proven more reproducible on a implant to implant basis. Furthermore, when using Alatus packing, our patients have reported less discomfort and required less pain medication both while implanted and with removal of the applicators when compared to traditional packing. After completing our initial evaluation, I cannot imagine ever returning to the use of traditional vaginal packing."

"The (RadiaDyne) balloons, compared to conventional vaginal packing materials, are easier to apply and remove, less uncomfortable for the patient, and I expect may result in less dose to bladder and rectum in most patients"

Charles Wood, M.D.
"Our early experience with the RadiaDyne balloon thus far has been quite positive, with less patient discomfort and markedly increased reproducibility as compared to traditional packing. We are hopeful that this will translate into increased bladder/rectal sparing on a consistent basis."

"We have observed that for patients undergoing ICBT for the treatment of cervical carcinoma, RadiaDyne’s Alatus gynecological packing balloons have provided a reproducible reduction of dose to the rectum and bladder and, by enhancing visualization of the boundaries of these critical structures, facilitate the treatment planning process."
