Patent ID: 7351192

Claim:
A system for selectively loading and sealing a plurality of bioresorbable carriers for low dose radioisotope seeds comprising: a plurality of bioresorbable tubes each having a distal closed end and a proximal open end and a lumen therebetween; a loading station that permits a user to load a selectable arrangement of elements including at least one radioisotope seed into the lumen though the proximal open end of each bioresorbable tube; and a finishing station including an automated heat source that selectively seals the proximal open end of each bioresorbable tube at a sealing position along the bioresorbable tube that is generally adjacent to a proximal end of the selectable arrangement of elements such that the selectable arrangement of elements is retained within the bioresorbable tube; such that the sealing position for different ones of the plurality of bioresorbable tubes is located at different distances from the distal closed end dependent upon the selectable arrangement of elements advanced into that bioresorbable tube.
