BIOABSORBABLE CAPS Optimizing prostate

An advanced approach to performing seed implants The key to delivering quality prostate brachytherapy is placing the sources where you need them and keeping them there. The SourceCap™ Bioabsorbable endcaps are designed to maximize resistance to movement while being compatible with your current delivery techniques. SourceCap™ endcaps can be utilized with either BrachySource® Iodine or Theraseed® Palladium implants, and can be used with your existing applicators or be custom loaded in needles.

SourceCap™ endcaps - implant fixity, by design A critical aspect of any brachytherapy procedure is having the source stay where it is positioned — or the implant “fixity”. Tangential Motion of Surfaces During Contact We used finite element analysis to assess and create a design that increases resistance to motion. We found that distinct edges on the leading ends create more fixity with SourceCap™ endcaps. The different colors correspond to motion of tissue around the assembly. The gray color means that the tissue in not moving, i.e, the assembly “stays” at these points. The green and yellow colors...
