The Mick® Magazines are designed to shield staff and patient from excess radiation exposure before and during the implant procedure. When inserted in the Mick® TP/TPV Applicator, the exposure rate around the magazine nears background readings. The hexagonal magazine head is threaded for safe storage in the Loading V-Block or Seed Sterilizer and Carrier. Mick®Magazines may conveniently be received on-site ready loaded and sterile from e.g. Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG. Various magazine types are offered:
Disposable Mick® Magazines (single use): They can be autoclaved for one sterilization cycle and are compatible with Mick® 200-TP and 200-TPV Applicators. The capacity per magazine is 15 or 20 each for I-125 or Pd-103 seeds.
Reusable Mick® Magazine: When loaded, seeds are held captive thus eliminating the loss of seeds during the handling and sterilization process. The capacity per magazine is 10 each for I-125 or Pd-103 seeds.
