PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spacer for radiation therapy, which can be compressed to a thin thickness by a slight external force and, after removal of the external force, has excellent potential of returning toward an original thickness from a compressed state.SOLUTION: A spacer for radiation therapy is a flexible structure that is constituted of threads of a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic fiber and has a thickness between main surfaces of front and back. The spacer for radiation therapy includes (a) a pair of main surface parts that respectively forms a main surface of the structure and face with each other with a distance therebetween, (b) a linkage part that connects between the pair of main surface parts, (c) the main surface parts having a fabric structure or a woven structure made of the threads, and (d) the linkage part formed of an assembly of the linkage systems made of the threads that link the pair of main surface parts by extending in a thickness direction of the spacer.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】僅かな外力で,薄い厚みへと圧縮でき,外力の除去後には,圧縮された状態から元の厚みへ向けて復元する能力に優れた放射線治療用スペーサーの提供。【解決手段】 放射線治療用スペーサーであって,生体適合性且つ生分解性の合成繊維の糸により構成された,表裏の主表面とそれらの間の厚みを有する,柔軟な構造体であり, (a)該構造体の主表面をそれぞれ形成する,間隔をあけて互いに対向した一対の主表面部と,(b)該一対の主表面部の間を連結している連結部とからなり,(c)該主表面部は,該糸よりなる編物構造又は織物構造を有し,(d)該連結部は,該スペーサーの厚み方向へ延びて該一対の該主表面部を連結している該糸よりなる連結糸の集合体から構成されているものである,放射線治療用スペーサー。【選択図】図1
