Pre-loaded needles

The needles into which the iodine seeds are loaded have been developed in collaboration with practitioners themselves and tested for practical use.

The needle is thin, sharp and has optimal stiffness to bring the seed to the right place. A special glue ensures that the seed only detaches from the needle at the desired moment.

Sterility is guaranteed for 180 days.
