| 20100268014 | BRACHYTHERAPY FIDUCIAL NEEDLE FIXATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A mechanism to facilitate the insertion of radioactive sources/source strands into soft tissue, such as breast tissue, and a method that utilizes this mechanism with the goal of improving the reproducibility of the procedure and ensuring that the sources are reliably and consistently inserted in an exact position per a patient prescription treatment plan from patient to patient as well as improve the ease-of-use of the device and procedure are provided. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100056842 | BRACHYTHERAPY MULTIPLE IMPLANTATION DEVICE LOADING TRAY AND METHOD - A brachytherapy multiple needle loading device and method are provided. The device allows multiple implantation devices to be loaded at the same time and has a gating retention mechanism that allows the user to load sources into implantation devices at a desired rate. A packaging unit of the device has a two part configuration that allows removal of implantation devices that have been loaded with sources. The packaging unit may be opaque or translucent to allow visual inspection of the sources. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20090193764 | Selectively Loadable/Sealable Bioresorbable Carrier Assembly for Radioisotope Seeds - A selectively loadable/sealable bioresorbable carrier assembly for retaining and positioning elements used in brachytherapy procedures comprises a bioresorbable tube having a closed distal end and a proximal open end. The bioresorbable tube is loaded with a selectable arrangement of elements, including at least one radioactive seed, through the proximal open end. After the bioresorbable tube is selectably loaded, the bioresorbable tube is heat sealed at a sealing position adjacent a proximalmost element. Once sealed, the bioresorbable tube maintains the arrangement of elements throughout the treatment duration. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090187061 | SEED MAGAZINE - The invention provides magazines for radioactive brachytherapy seeds. The seed magazines provided herein include housing, seed holder, and pusher components, and optionally have a slidable shield to protect a user from radiation. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090057580 | Radiation Shielding Device - Radiation shielding devices are provided herein. In particular, the devices provided herein can be adapted to shield radiation emitted by one or more radioactive brachytherapy seeds contained within, for example, a vial or a cartridge. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20080207982 | SELECTIVELY LOADABLE/SEALABLE BIORESORBABLE CARRIER ASSEMBLY FOR RADIOISOTOPE SEEDS - A selectively loadable/sealable bioresorbable carrier assembly for retaining and positioning elements used in brachytherapy procedures comprises a bioresorbable tube having a closed distal end and a proximal open end. The bioresorbable tube is loaded with a selectable arrangement of elements, including at least one radioactive seed, through the proximal open end. After the bioresorbable tube is selectably loaded, the bioresorbable tube is heat sealed at a sealing position adjacent a proximalmost element. Once sealed, the bioresorbable tube maintains the arrangement of elements throughout the treatment duration. | 08-28-2008 |
