Eckert & Ziegler: Major Order for Prostate Implants

03-Jun-2010 - Germany

Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen- und Medizintechnik AG has gained over its Belgian subsidiary IBt BEBIG (International Brachytherapy S.A.) a major order in France for the supply of medical devices for prostate cancer treatment.

During the next three years the specialist in radiation therapy will deliver miniature implants, typically used to treat early stage prostate cancer, to specialised hospitals in Angers, Caen, Nice, Strasbourg and Rouen. The multiple million Euro contract contains also the supply of the renowned Institut Curie in Paris, where brachytherapy was born. Presumably more than 1,000 patients will benefit from the low-level radioactive implants.
