A seed and/or spacer loader and containers for storage and dispensing of brachytherapy seeds and spacers are disclosed. The seed and/or spacer loader has a holding area to hold seeds and/or spacers prior to loading. The seed and/or spacer loader has a loading mechanism that loads seeds and/or spacers into a receiving device, such as a needle or strand. The seed and/or spacer loader further includes a selection mechanism for selectively dispensing seeds and/or spacers from different containers. The containers have an advancing strip mechanism or a belt which can be employed to position seeds and/or spacers for dispensing from the container and to index the next seed or spacer to a dispensing position.
