The Mick® TP Applicator uses Manchester source placement principles and allows for seed placement adjustments during the implant in order to adapt to changes of the prostate position and size. When attached to an implanted Mick® Applicator Needle, the applicator allows for seeds to be inserted individually per pre-plan or real-time technique. Treatment modifications can be done on the spot and without interruptions. The design of the Mick® System offers optimal seed placement flexibility and a significant reduction in radiation exposure to staff and personnel.
Like the Mick® TP Applicator, the Mick® TPV Applicator enables optimal seed placement adjustability. Additionally, the design of the Mick® TPV Applicator allows for instantaneous seed spacing selections of 12 mm, 11 mm, 10 mm, 8 mm, 7.5 mm and a neutral position “N”. The neutral position disengages the clicking mechanism to prevent needle displacement while resetting the template ring.
