Abstract
Described here are temporary devices for placement into tissue cavities at the time of a surgical procedure. In addition to marking the tissue cavity for radiation therapy, the devices are capable of draining fluid from the cavity. The devices generally include a resilient, volumetrically shaped distal portion. The shape of the distal portion may be released when removal of the device from the tissue cavity is desired.
