About
BioProtect was an Israeli medical device manufacturer specializing in biodegradable balloon spacer technology for prostate cancer radiation therapy. Founded in 2004 in Netanya, Israel by Shaul Shohat and Adrian Paz, the company developed the BioProtect Balloon Spacer — an FDA-cleared implant that creates a protective gap between the prostate and rectum during radiation treatment, reducing rectal dose and preserving quality of life. BioProtect was acquired by Olympus Corporation in May 2026 for up to $270 million to expand Olympus's portfolio of urological technologies.
