Abstract: After-loader devices, kits, and methods for using the same are provided. Such after-loader devices are useful for loading implants into hollow needles, especially after the needles are inserted into patient tissue. The after-loader devices can be pre-loaded with implants, before the after-loaders are connected to hubs of hollow needles, or loaded thereafter.

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: In one embodiment an applicator includes a needle receiver adapted to be removably mateable with a needle positioned at the surgical site, a housing adapted to receive a push rod, and a clip for receiving one or more implants, the clip having a plurality of ports adapted to bridge the needle receiver and the housing so that the needle receiver can receive the push rod, wherein the clip can be rotatably repositioned so that the plurality of ports can selectively bridge the needle receiver and the housing. This abstract is not intended to be a complete description of the invention.
