Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods are provided for transporting implants. In one embodiment, the implants are radioactive seeds contained within substantially transparent sleeves that can be sealed at both ends. Multiple sleeves can be placed in a transfer device that, in turn, can be placed in a canister for further protection. The entire assembly can be sterilized prior to shipment to the user. Upon receipt, one can verify the loading pattern and activity of each sleeve, open one of the seals, and transfer the contents into a brachytherapy needle.
