Eckert & Ziegler Medical offers a wide range of different types of Needles for LDR Brachytherapy, which are used for pre-loading and post-loading of stranded and loose seeds while favoring prostate targeting, access and fixation. Particularly sharpened, echo-enhanced needle tips facilitate easy insertion.

Precise needle guidance
Detail Information
IsoCord® Needles are steerable thanks to their bevel shaped tip, which is aligned with a blue marking on the top of the needle hub, thus allowing precise needle guidance. The stylet features clearly visible 0.5 cm markings for seed quantity indication and numerically ordered centimeter markings on the outer cannula permit determination of penetration depth at one glance. IsoCord® Needles are loaded quickly with the unique Needle Loading Station, which allows easy strand cutting under maximum radiation protection.
Applicator needles
The slim hub design favors the implantation of loose seeds with the Mick® TP/TPV Applicator. The trocar tip stylet avoids needle deflection. 0.5 cm markings on the outer cannula support orientation whilst pulling back the Mick® TP/TPV Applicator during seed placement.
Two Types of Fixation Needles
The three hooks of the Pajunk Delta-Fix Fixation Needle are extended after puncturing the prostate, stabilizing it in the desired position. An adjustable locking spring, positioned directly at the needle template, prevents movement of the prostate.
