    Abstract: A therapeutic member for use in brachytherapy deliverable to an implant site by way of a needle comprises a single radioactive source encapsulated by a bio-absorbable material having an outer surface including one or more ribs encircling the single radioactive source, a leading edge endcap rib and a trailing edge endcap rib. The one or more ribs reduces a tendency of the member to migrate and rotate within a patient's body after implantation. The encapsulating material further includes a first rail formed from the bio-absorbable material extending at least from opposite sides of the outer surface of the encapsulating material along the longitudinal axis of the therapeutic member, and a second rail formed from the bio-absorbable material extending at least from opposite sides of the outer surface of the encapsulating material along the longitudinal axis of the therapeutic member, the second rail arranged in a plane substantially perpendicular to a plane in which the first rail is arranged.

    Abstract: Therapeutic members and strands for use in brachytherapy are designed to reduce the tendency for the members and strands (and thus the radioactive sources, thermal ablation implants and/or radiopaque makers, etc. therein) to migrate and/or rotate within a patient's body. In one embodiment a member includes a radioactive source and a material that encapsulates the radioactive source. Such encapsulating material, which is preferably, but not necessarily, bioabsorbable, is likely polymeric or some other plastic material. An outer surface of the encapsulating material includes at least one protrusion, and preferably a plurality of protrusions, to reduce the tendency of the member to migrate and rotate within a patient's body after implantation. Other embodiments are also provided.

    Abstract: A process is provided for sterilizing brachytherapy devices (10) with Ethylene Oxide gas and releasing the devices (10) on a parametric release basis. Devices that can be sterilized with this process include interstitial radiation seed strand (12) implants and the needles (14) used for implantation. In order to be sterilized effectively by EtO gas, the devices (10) are constructed such that surfaces not readily infused with EtO gas are made to be gas permeable, and will not retain the gas after the sterilization process. Performance qualification of the sterilization process is performed through physical and microbiological studies, and set of established physical process parameters. Maintaining the physical process parameters in subsequent sterilization cycles will consistently yield the desired sterility assurance level without having to test the devices for sterility.

The delivery system and method further customize the strand based on a prescription. The strands can have custom end spacings, which allow the optimal placing of seeds within the treatment tissue by implanting a plurality of strands to the same depth. A plurality of these strands can be implanted at the same time by the use of a guiding device.
