The Mick type needles obturator is provided with a sharp trocar point while the echogenic canula tip is groundbeveled to facilitate the penetration of the skin.

The Mick type needle’s hub canula is “honed" for smooth transfer of seeds from the applicator into and through the needle.

Improved Seed Distribution by Means of Prostate Gland Immobilization.

The Stabilizing Needle (patented) is designed to prevent prostate movement during the insertion of prostate seeding needles. Immobilization is accomplished by deployment of a “side barb" in the prostate tissue and then securing a “lock spring" against the proximal side of the template. Two stabilizing needles must be used to adequately stabilize the prostate gland.

This 20 cm needle is specifically designed for use with Syed/Neblett templates or disposable templates. A funnel fixed to one end makes the ribbon loading easy and less time consuming. A special cap fits over the funnel to keep the ribbon in position.

Custom lengths available on request.

The DIDDLER is a device to adjust the position of transperineal prostate seeding needles during the time of seed implantation. Often, fingers are needed to reach behind the transperineal template to readjust the needle position. The DIDDLER replaces the need to use fingers which, in most cases, are too big to reach a needle between the template and perineum.

The DIDDLER, similar in construction to a crochet needle, is made entirely of stainless steel and consists of a long hexagonally shaped handle with a slender tip. The tip thus allows a needle to be pushed, pulled or twisted left and right even if there is a needle right next to it.

Adjust the needle up, down and sideways without using your fingers!

The DIDDLER is especially effective when needle repositioning with “HOT" Pre-loaded Prostate Seeding Needles is required. Notably, the DIDDLER is most useful in the Mick technique when numerous needles are implanted either peripherally, in rows, or all at once.

The DIDDLER is approximately 8" (20cm) long and made entirely of stainless steel. A high-polish finish provides for easy cleaning and flash sterilization.

The DIDDLER can be AUTOCLAVED!

Flexi-Needles are sharp or blunt, with closed-ended needle guides, and have nominal 0.3 cm long tip. They are made of biologically compatible material. Custom lengths are available upon request.

Flexi-Needles are inserted transcutaneously, using special obturators. They are designed to be afterloaded with Iridium-192 or Iodine-125 ribbon sources. Two types of caps are available (Luer Cap or Slip Cap) to place over the loaded Flexi-Needle to hold the ribbons in place during irradiation. Simulator sources can be used for localization; obturators are left in place until the time each is afterloaded with the appropriate radioactive source.

WARNING : Obturators are made of Tungsten or stainless steel. Both obturator and Flexi-Needle may break if bone, hard skin, hard surfaces, or excessive forces are encountered.

• Device is shipped Non-Sterile or Sterile.
• Flexi-Needles and Obturators are for single use only.
• Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
• Ensure Obturator is all the way to the tip of the Flexi-Needle prior to insertion.
• Luer hubs may separate from the Flexi-Needle and Obturators if excessive force is applied.
