Radioactive seeds may be attached to wrappers made of various bio-compatible materials such as plastics, polymers, or shielding materials. These wrappers may be inserted (at least partially) into a carrier (e.g., a collagen substrate) to position radioactive seeds at desired locations within the carrier. Wrappers may each have a single layer or multiple discrete layers, and some may include shielding materials. A wrapper may shield radiation in certain directions while allowing it to emit into the patient tissue for therapeutic purposes. The size of the wrapper opening can be customized for specific patients or treatment plans, enabling controlled radiation delivery areas.
