SIROS provides a precise, versatile, and straightforward solution for interventional radiologists to deliver patient-tailored care.
FREMONT, CA: Sirtex Medical U.S. Holdings, Inc., a leading manufacturer of targeted liver cancer therapies, announced the launch of SIROS, an innovative system for the delivery of SIR-Spheres® Y-90 resin microspheres.
SIROS offers a visual, versatile, and intuitive option for interventional radiologists to deliver SIR-Spheres® to liver cancer patients.

A three-step setup further provides quick and straightforward administration and disposal.
