The BEBIG Pd-103 Radionuclide Brachtherapy Sources are indicated for the treatment of selected localized tumors. These sources are commonly used to treat superficial, intraabdominal and intrathoracic tumors. Tumors of the head, neck, lung, pancreas and prostate are commonly treated. They may be used alone, or in combination with external beam radiation.

The BEBIG IsoSeeds® Pd-103 are cylindrical sealead sources containing Pd-103 radioactivity. The sources are 4.5 mm long and 0.8 mm in diameter. The outer capsule of the source is composed of titanium being closed at one end and sealed by a laser weld at the other end in a final step. The metallic palladium-103 is deposited within a porous ceramic tube. A radiopaque marker is located in the center of the ceramic tube to serve as an x-ray marker. The radiopaque marker is composed of gold wire. Palladium seeds have a half live of 16,97 days and are available in a range of activity levels. The BEBIG IsoSeeds® Pd-103 are provided non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to use.
