Radiotherapy

Biotic Phocea offers sterile pigments accredited as medical devices for radiotherapy reference points.

In order to correctly target the irradiated field, reference points are marked on the skin to ensure perfect targeting and reproducibility of tumor irradiation.

The points were previously marked with Indian ink, but:

• the ink contains impurities,
• the composition of the ink is unknown (the ingredients must be known, even for artistic tattooing),
• the product is not biocompatible,
• the product is not medically accredited,
• the product is not sterile or single-use as required by the legislation,
• the reference points are indelible and gradually turn blue.

Indian ink is now being replaced by a sterile pigment dispersion that is single-use and accredited as a 'medical device', class IIb (invasive implant), under the terms of medical device directive 93/42 on "medical device".

In addition to the safety and statutory requirement dimensions, the pigments do not turn blue but fade over time, effacing the stigmata of the disease.
