The Radioactive Seed Protective Implant is a medical handheld device for the safe implantation of radioactive particles into the body. It is used in the context of brachytherapy, a form of radiation treatment. For this procedure, radioactive particles are inserted directly into the lesion or in close proximity to the malignancy. The device allows for precise positioning of the particle while simultaneously reducing radiation exposure for medical staff. The design is focused on optimal particle visualisation and the stability of radioactive particles.
Statement by the Jury
