Development and preclinical testing of a novel biodegradable hydrogel vaginal packing technology for gynecologic high-dose-rate brachytherapy
PURPOSE: We evaluated the performance of a novel hydrogel-based strategy developed for clinical use as vaginal packing using phantoms and cadavers, and to compare the hydrogel to gauze and balloon packing. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The biocompatible hydrogel is based on a thiol-Michael addition reaction...
