The Kobold Prostate HDR Template and Stepper Template are indicated for use as an accessory for high dose rate brachytherapy treatment of the prostate. The Stainless Steel Interstitial Needles and corresponding stylets are indicated for use as an accessory for high dose rate brachytherapy treatment of the prostate.

The Kobold Prostate HDR Template and Stepper Template are accessories to be used where ultrasound-guided interstitial temporary high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatment of the prostate is accepted by up-to-date clinical guidelines. The templates are ergonomically designed for freehand HDR technique. The templates are best used with biplanar transrectal ultrasound and confirmatory fluoroscopy. The templates are single-use, disposable devices shipped nonsterile. It is customizable for almost any prostate size or shape. The templates include four suture holes at the corners to secure the template to the perineum. The templates are available in various gauge sizes to match the most common needles sizes. These devices are for continuous use of up to 24 hours of contact with the patient. For workflows that require a stepper, the Kobold Prostate HDR Stepper Template fits into the Elekta Martinez Template Holder. The stainless steel needles are 17 gauge in either a pencil point tip or a bevel tip. The associated stylets are inserted into needles to stiffen the needles during implantation of the needles into the patient and to stiffen the needles between radiation therapy fractions. The Kobold Stainless Steel Interstitial Needles are intended for single use and are disposable. The maximum implantation time for these needles is less than 24 hours.
