Versatile solutions for LDR brachytherapy procedures.

Introducing TheraMesh, a prefabricated, bio-absorbable implantable mesh embedded with TheraSeed^® or AgX100^® for permanent implantation.

TheraSeed – Pd 103	AgX100 – I 125
16.9 day half life	59.4 day half life
20-23 keV principle energy	27-35 keV principle energy

Selected Tumor Characteristics and types^1,2

Localized or unresectable with low to
moderate radiosensitivity
Recurrent
Residual following external beam radiation or excision of primary tumor
Superficial, intrathoracic, intra-abdominal
Lung, Pancreas, and Head & Neck
Deep Cavity Soft Tissue Sarcoma³
- Chest
- Abdomen
- Pelvis
- Retroperitoneum
- Deep truncal locations

Provides a flexible brachytherapy platform that may be contoured to implant surfaces

Low energy brachytherapy seeds with rapid dose fall off to minimize dose to normal structures (See comparison table above)
An alternative delivery system for radiotherapy to tumor beds³
May be suitable for anticipated close surgical margins and where other treatment options are limited³
May be advantageous when the target volume is irregular and complex and critical normal structures are adjacent to the tumor implant⁴

Prefabricated per a physician’s specification

Bio-absorbable 90/10 (glycolide/L-lactide) mesh consists of:
- 1 to 6 rows of flexible bio-absorbable 90/10 (glycolide/L-lactide) braided suture strands
  - Each strand row embedded with (10) TheraSeed or (10) AgX100 seeds
  - Seeds are spaced at a fixed distance of 1 cm center to center of seed
  - Strand rows are spaced at 1 cm distance
  - Bio-absorption occurs in 56-70 days
