Abstract:
An implantable tissue marker device is provided to be placed in a soft tissue site through a surgical incision. The device can include a bioabsorbable body in the form of a spiral and defining a spheroid shape for the device, the spiral having a longitudinal axis, and turns of the spiral being spaced apart from each other in a direction along the longitudinal axis. A plurality of markers can be disposed on the body, the markers being visualizable by a radiographic imaging device. The turns of the spiral are sufficiently spared apart to form gaps that allow soft tissue to infiltrate between the turns and to allow flexibility in the device along the longitudinal axis in the manner of a spring.

Claim (Index 24):
A method of delivering radiation therapy to a target tissue comprising:\n placing a marker device into a cavity created by an open tissue resection procedure, the cavity having a cavity border, and the marker device comprising a bioabsorbable spiral shaped body sufficiently rigid to support the cavity border, the spiral shaped body comprising a first end, a second end, an equatorial diameter ranging from about 2 cm to about 6 cm, and a plurality of radiopaque markers secured to the marker device in a spaced configuration, wherein the spaced configuration comprises at least one radiopaque marker of the plurality of radiopaque markers at the first end and the second end, and the remaining radiopaque markers of the plurality of radiopaque markers spaced about the equatorial diameter; and delivering radiation to the target tissue.
