    Abstract: In an embodiment, a brachytherapy device includes a cartridge adapted for use with a brachytherapy applicator. A plurality of therapeutic members are stacked parallel to one another within the cartridge. Each therapeutic member includes a radioactive seed that is at least partially encapsulated by a polymeric material. Additionally, each therapeutic member can include at least one protrusion on an outer surface of the encapsulating polymeric material to reduce a tendency for the therapeutic member to migrate and rotate within a patient's body after the therapeutic member is implanted.

    Abstract: In an embodiment a therapeutic member includes a solitary radioactive seed. The seed includes a metallic housing with radioactive material contained within the metallic housing. The metallic housing has a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end and a longitudinal length between the first and second longitudinal ends. A polymeric material is molded to completely and monolithically encapsulate the metallic housing of the solitary radioactive seed. The implantable therapeutic member is adapted to be implanted into patient tissue using a hollow needle. A portion of the molded polymeric material extends from one of the first and second longitudinal ends of the metallic housing to reduce a tendency of the seed to migrate and rotate within a patient's body after implantation of the member. The portion of the molded polymeric material, that extends from one of the first and second longitudinal ends of the metallic housing, causes the implantable therapeutic member to have a longitudinal length that is greater than the longitudinal length of the metallic housing.

    Abstract: Echogenic strands and spacers are provided for use in brachytherapy. Methods of making the strands and spacers are also provided. An echogenic strand for use in brachytherapy and a method for making the strand includes an encapsulating material, a seed disposed within the encapsulating material, and a spacer disposed within the encapsulating material and arranged adjacent to the seed. The spacer has an axial length, an outer surface and an inner surface. A chamber is formed along the axial length, the chamber being defined by the inner surface. The chamber is adapted to improve ultrasound visibility relative to the spacer.
