SeeDOS Code Number 500618200 (Box of 25 implant needles)

For use with free seeds and spacers or strands

The P.S.S. Prostate Seeding Sets are high quality, disposable needles used to facilitate transperineal, radioactive seed implant procedures. 

Each needle has an exceptionally sharp point for easy insertion and 

an echogenic tip for easy visualisation under ultrasound guidance.

FEATURES INCLUDE:

• Centimetre and one-half centimetre markings on the outer cannula 

  serve as reference points during needle manipulation.

• One-half centimetre wide marks on the inner stylet, one half 

  centimetre apart, indicate the number of seeds in the needle

  after loading, whether you use free seeds/spacers or strands 

  (including RAPID Strand).

• Three needle styles are available: 5005 provides a more rigid 

  needle cannula and better "trackability" 5006 and 5007 are more 

  flexible needles and provide better "steerability".

• 5005 and 5007 needles are compatible with the Indigo EXPRESS 

  Seeding Cartridge.

• The needles have a blue flash on the funnel end to facilitate 

  steering the needle tip to the appropriate crosswire grid reference 

  point.

• A funnel at the end of the needles allows easy loading of seeds or 

  strands.
