    摘要: Disclosed is a spacer for radiotherapy that can be easily compressed into a reduced thickness, and has a high capacity to reconstitute itself from a compressed state back to its initial thickness after removal of external force. The spacer for radiotherapy is a flexible structure having front and back main faces and thickness therebetween, and composed of strands of biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic fibers, wherein the spacer consists of (a) a pair of main face portions opposing each other with a gap therebetween and respectively defining the main faces of the structure, and (b) a linker portion linking between the pair of main face portions, (c) wherein the main face portions comprise a knitted-fabric structure or a weave structure made of the strands, and (d) wherein the linker portion is composed as a collection of linker strands formed of the said strands and respectively extending in the thickness direction of the spacer and linking the pair of main face portions with each other.
