IsoCord® - Innovative I-125 Seed Chain IsoCord® seed chains (strands) contain IsoSeed® i-125 seeds and hourglass-shaped spacers in standard seed-spacer configuration, enclosed in a braided monofilament suture. IsoCord® strands are delivered in shielded magazines containing up to 70 seeds. IsoCord® is available in two different designs: IsoSeed® I25.S17plus and I25.S06. Both sealed source models are visible under X-ray, fluoroscopy, CT and MR and additionally show good ultrasound visibility. ■ IsoSeed® I25.S17plus features a full silver marker and has been designed for visibility under X-ray and fluoroscopic imaging. In addition, it enables MR imaging and opens new perspectives for postoperative planning. ■ IsoSeed® I25.S06 contains a thin gold marker within a ceramic carrier, diminishing artifacts and providing good visibility in CT imaging. One advantage of strands is their low migration rate. IsoCord® strands are specially designed to reduce the migration rates still further. The structured surface of the braided suture as well as the unique hourglass-shaped spacers provide reliable fixation of the IsoCord® strand in prostate tissue.
