IsoCord® system for preparing low dose brachytherapy cancer treatment

Made:
2017-2019 in Berlin

5 IsoCord® (18 G x 20cm) needles for pre-loading seeds used for low dose brachytherapy for prostate cancer, and IsoCord® needle loading station with sterilisation tray, and IsoCord® magazine (temporary storage for loaded seeds), and a sealed demonstration example of a seed, with no radioactive nucletides, made by Eckert & Ziegler, Bebig GBmH, Berlin, Germany, 2017-2019

The IsoCord® system is used to prepare a low dose prostate cancer treatment known as brachytherapy. Each as small a grain of rice, 80 to 120 seeds are placed in the body via long needles while a person has a general anaesthetic. By placing radioactive material into the prostate, cancerous cells are targeted while minimising the impact to health tissue. Each seed emits radiation of a radioisotope known as iodine-125 for up to a year. The system is fully sterilisable by steam so it can be safely reused. The design aims to protect the person preparing the treatment as much as possible.
