Cesium Blu - Preloaded Needles
From Prostate
Isoray’s Cesium Blu Stranded or Loose Seeds can be preloaded into 18 gauge needles and placed into a shielded tray that may contain up to 14 needles. The needle tray doubles as a needle stand per the instructions provided in the package insert and is sterilized prior to being shipped. Preloaded needles are directly implanted into the treatment area, following the predetermined treatment plan. By preloading, several steps are removed in the operating room as the Cesium Blu sources are already positioned within the needle.

Higher Energy
Isoray’s proprietary isotope, Cesium Blu, has a higher energy allowing for a more uniform dose distribution with less overdosing than other permanent isotopes.
Shorter Half-Life
Isoray’s proprietary isotope, Cesium Blu, has a shorter half-life than other commonly used isotopes for the treatment of cancer throughout the body, resulting in a shorter duration of radiation which contributes to a rapid resolution of patient side effects.
Improved Coverage of the Prostate
Isoray’s Cesium Blu proprietary permanent prostate cancer brachytherapy seeds allow for better dose homogeneity and the sparing of the urethra and rectum while providing comparable prostate coverage compared to other seeds with comparable or fewer seeds and needles.
Rapid Resolution of Side effects
Isoray’s proprietary isotope, Cesium Blu, has a shorter half-life than other commonly used isotopes for the treatment of cancer throughout the body, resulting in a shorter duration of radiation which contributes to a rapid resolution of patient side effects.
Higher Biologically Effective Dose
Isoray’s Cesium Blu also delivers a higher “biological effective dose” or BED compared to I-125 or Pd-103 across a wide range of tumor types.
PSA Control
Isoray along with investigators tracking PSA in both single arm and randomized prostate cancer treatment trials have concluded that Cesium Blu’s PSA response rates have similar early tumor control to I-125, which was previously considered the gold standard in permanent seed brachytherapy.
