Loose Seeds with Excellent Visibility
IsoSeed® stands for two well-proven seed types to treatprostate cancer.
Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG provides seeds for both X-ray based and US based seed placement with excellent visibility. Quality made in Germany combined with fast product delivery and reliable service.
Two Types of Seeds – Excellent Visibility
At Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG, the customer can choose between two different sealed source models: I25.S17plus and I25.S06. Both seed models are visible under X-ray, fluoroscopy, CT, and MR and show excellent ultrasound visibility.
- IsoSeed® I25.S17plus features a full size silver marker and has been designed for excellent 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 optimal visibility in CT imaging.
Implantation with the Mick™ Applicator
IsoSeed® comes loose or in Mick™ Magazines. Each Mick™ Magazine has a capacity of 15 IsoSeeds. With the Mick™ Applicator, IsoSeed® can be implanted in any desired seed spacing distance, thus allowing a geometrically unrestricted seed distribution.
