CA 2441913

A device and assembly for implanting radioactive seeds and non-radioactive spacers in a desired configuration in an animal body for effecting radiation therapy is disclosed. An elongated hollow needle is connected to a seed loading apparatus. The hollow needle receives a tube shaped sleeve member with open ends, which sleeve member itself receives a row of seeds and spacers contained within a tube shaped element. After the hollow needle is inserted in the body, a pushing element pushes the tube shaped element including the row of seeds and spacers through and out of the sleeve member and hollow needle towards the desired location in the body.

La présente divulgation décrit un dispositif et un ensemble qui permettent d'implanter des germes radioactifs et des pièces d'espacement non radioactives, selon la configuration voulue, dans le corps d'un animal, pour effectuer une radiothérapie. Une longue aiguille creuse est raccordée à un appareillage de chargement de germes. L'aiguille creuse reçoit un manchon tubulaire avec extrémités ouvertes, lequel manchon reçoit lui-même une rangée de germes et de pièces d'espacement contenues dans un élément tubulaire. Une fois l'insertion de l'aiguille creuse dans le corps, un poussoir pousse l'élément tubulaire comprenant la rangée de germes et de pièces d'espacement à travers le manchon et de l'aiguille creuse, et à l'extérieur de ces éléments, vers l'emplacement voulu du corps.
