Overview
The BrachySeed is a brachytherapy radionuclide source designed for interstitial implantation. It consists of two spherical seeds containing a uniform distribution of radioactive material, either Iodine-125 or Palladium-103, encapsulated in aluminum silicate for precise radiation delivery in targeted tissue treatment.
These devices are supplied as single-use, sterile implants intended for use in radiology settings. The Iodine-125 variant features 0.5 mm diameter spheres with a density of 2.81 g/cm³, while the Palladium-103 variant uses 0.55 mm spheres with a density of 2.53 g/cm³. Both variants are classified as Class II devices under FDA regulations (KXK, K000475) and are approved for brachytherapy applications via a Traditional 510(k) pathway.
