Unrivaled clinical experience
  • Pd-103 shorter half-life and lower energy photons provide distinct radiobiologic advantages over I-125, and may achieve greater disease control over I-1251
  • Pd-103 implants demonstrate greater dose heterogeneity, which is associated with improved oncologic outcomes1
  • 16.9 day half life; 20-23 keV principal energy
Trusted quality
  • Pd-103 produced on our own cyclotrons and seeds manufactured in Buford, GA
  • Dosimetric characterization of TheraSeed® Pd-103 include Monte Carlo and experimental studies conducted in accordance with the AAPM Task Group 43 update (TG43U2)2
Exclusive design
  • Distinctive concave end cups designed to facilitate tissue fixity
  • Laser welded titanium capsule containing two Pd-103 plated graphite pellets and a lead x-ray marker
  • Available in a wide range of activities with both standard and high activity options
