SEED-LOCK3 PRE-PLUGGED NEEDLES
SeedLock3 is the better choice for pre-plugged needles. Its unique design means smoother loading, easier delivery, accurate placement, and reliable expulsion.
 
Protect your patient, protect yourself.
  • These third generation pre-plugged needles utilize an advanced synthetic bio-absorbable micro-plug which provides superior retention and smoother expulsion.
  • Consistent plug location in every needle allows precise seed placement, taking full advantage of today's advanced planning and imaging modalities.
  • New Accu-Trac™ needle tip design minimizes trauma while providing unequalled penetration and tracking.
  • Ultra-enhanced echo tip improves imaging
  • Proprietary EZ Load™ technology virtually eliminates problems associated with seed/spacer loading and placement.
  • Exclusive ESD clear hub material actively removes static from the spacers/seeds. Available in round or square hub.
  • CM marks on cannula and .5cm marks on stylet configured for either standard or Seattle technique (reversed markings).
  • Vented stylet provides an air passage to needle tip equalizing pressure to eliminate unwanted seed displacement from vacuum phenomena.

Seed-Lock3 is the only approved needle for use with Vari-Strand™, Vari-Load™ and Real-Time Strands™

SeedLock3™ - More Details

SeedLock3™ is the third generation of brachytherapy’s original and premier pre-plugged needle. Its unique, proprietary design and manufacturing process set it apart from any other needle on the market.

SeedLock3™ features a synthetic bio-absorbable plug comprised of a proprietary blend of polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polycaprolactone (PCL). The plug is absorbed over 60 to 90 days through enzymatic reaction. The SeedLock3™ plug is a constant 1.5 millimetres in length and is consistent in its position, ensuring the first seed is always five millimetres from the needle tip. The plug also features a consistent push-out force, resulting in a perceptible “pop” indicating plug displacement and ensuring smooth expulsion of the needle load.

Upon piercing the perineum, the steerable SeedLock3™ is designed to create a flap rather than coring the tissue, thus reducing trauma, bleeding, edema, and leaving no tissue deposits in the gland. The needle hub is produced from an exclusive electrostatic dissipating (ESD) material that actively removes static from seeds, spacers, and strands.

Each SeedLock3™ also features a vented stylet, which equalizes pressure and eliminates unwanted seed displacement from vacuum phenomena. The included Grip Clip secures stylet positioning by attaching to the needle hub and ensures against accidental plug displacement.

SeedLock3™ is an 18 gauge, 20 centimetre length needle and is available with either round
or square hubs. Sterile packs are provided in quantities of one or five or in boxes of fifty.
