A new device for interstitial implantation of I125 seeds is presented. The technical details and function of the system are described and compared with well-known commercial systems. Its unique design allows for simple, fast, and safe treatment of most tumor sites including stereotactic implantation of brain. Radiation measurements indicate low exposure to both patients and personnel during implantation.
