HDR Prostate Template

The unique design of the HDR Contour Template allows FlexiGuide
Needles to be locked simultaneously while the template's sloped
backing comfortably fits the patient's perineum, This feature eliminates
the void between the template and the perineum while accessibility for
needle adjustments is maintained. Suturing, therefore, will not
compromise needle and template positions.

The HDR set up includes Pathfinders which are initially used to establish the needle path for FlexiGuide Needles guided by ultrasound.

Once the Pathfinder is inserted and in the optimal position, the Pathfinder is removed and immediately substituted with the FlexiGuide Needle which represents the conduit through which the radiation source will eventually be delivered. the advantage of this system is that FlexiGuide Needles remaining  in the patient for the duration of the implant causes less trauma to the gland and reduced swelling. This, in turn, potentially reduces the risk for acute urinary retention in these patients after the procedure.

Protective Cones

It is imperative to keep the implanted bundle of needles protected upon completion of the surgical procedure and the time between

HDR treatments.

Small Miniaturized Contour Template shown with inserted 15.5 Gauge FlexiGuide Needles and stainless steel ball-tipped stylets.

Stylets are inserted to prevent Flexiguide needles from kinking and from entry of undesired fluids or solid matter.

  Disposable Protective Cone shown attached to the HDR Contour template after completion of the implant.

Pathfinders • FlexiGuides

"Unlike Rigid Metal Needles, FlexiGuide Needles are inherently less prone to CT artifacts and thus help
improve treatment-planning"

1. Initial Insertion of Pathfinders to create a Needle Path.

2. Substituting Pathfinders with FlexiGuide Needles.

3. FlexiGuide Needles are locked in place: Suturing in Process.

After completion of Needle insertion, the Protective Cone should be attached to prevent FlexiGuide Needles from kinking or displacement.

Leg Support

SeeDOS Code 9807-MLS

Don't let the implanted FlexiGuide Needles become displaced by interference with the bed's mattress.

 

Features:

•  The Leg Support not only improves patient comfort, it prevents the HDR template and its protruding needles from colliding with the bed's mattress.

•  Keeping the patient's legs slightly elevated lessens the steep downsloping angle of the template which in turn, lifts the needles off the mattress,

•  The Leg Support is constructed such that needles are accessible from all sides and through the centre for ease of connecting the source-guide tubes to the FlexiGuide needles.

Attar completion of the implant, the patient is positioned comfortably on the Leg Support, The Leg Support is cushioned with a 1 nch thick washable foam pad and a 1cm thick custom-made Gel Pad.

The patient's legs are elevated and the FlexiGuide Needles are safely kept aloft.

By means of space provided all around the template, it is easy to connect or disconnect the source-guide tubes from the FlexiGuides.

The HDR Contour Template rests neatly in an elevated position while the FlexiGuide Needles and inserted obturators clear the sides, the bottom and the front of the Leg Rest.
