Product History
Our first product, called the CivaString®, has been cleared by the FDA for use in localized solid tumors or residual disease, and the product began use to treat prostate cancers in 2013. The Company’s second product, is a bioabsorbable, planar sheet called the CivaSheet®, received FDA clearance in 2014 and is the first commercially available brachytherapy device that has integrated radiation shielding built into the implantable device, making it more safe and allowing broader applications where previously risk of harming healthy tissue was problematic.
Both products are customized for the patient and the strengths can be varied according to the prescription. CivaTech Oncology’s products are significantly more accurate to prescription than traditional metal encapsulated seeds.
