Stranded Prostate Seed Implantation

Excellent Strand Placement Characteristics

IsoCord® seed chains have to fulfill high quality standards. Quality controls include a check of the outer diameter of IsoCord®. This guarantees
that IsoCord® moves smoothly through the needles. Once placed the IsoCord® implant keeps its position reliably.
 
 
Strand Cutting and Needle Loading - Safe and Convenient

The unique IsoCord® Needle Loading Station enables you to cut the IsoCord® seed chain in a safe and convenient way. It allows for the direct loading of the implantation needles, which are simply attached to the Needle Loading Station with a “push and click” mechanism.  During the whole process the user is protected by the integrated radiation shielding.
 
 
Excellent Visibility

IsoCord® provides outstanding visibility under X-ray and ultrasound.  This allows exact seed localisation during implantation and post planning.  Moreover IsoCord® can be identified
clearly on MR images. This opens new perspectives for the post planning.
 

Extreme Low Migration Rates

 An advantage of strands in general is a low migration rate. Due to its special design migration rates are even more reduced with IsoCord®.  The structured surface of the braided suture and the unique, hourglass shaped spacers provide an optimal fixation of the IsoCord® strand in the Prostate tissue. A migration during and after implantation in prostate tissue is almost impossible.
 
 
Short Delivery Time

Our improved production processes and intelligent stock management ensure that IsoCord® can generally be delivered within one week.  This makes a flexible OR planning possible.
