How It Works:
Understanding Comprehensive HDR Brachytherapy Applicator Systems
This set includes various applicators designed for High Dose Rate (HDR)
Brachytherapy treatments, commonly used in gynecologic oncology. These applicators are essential therapeutic tools in delivering localized radiation doses to treat a range of cancers. They are constructed and designed to meet the diverse anatomical and clinical conditions encountered in gynecologic oncology treatment. Below, let’s delve into each of these applicators more in-depth.
CT F/S/D Compatible HDR Applicators
CT F/S/D compatible applicators are designed to be compatible with CT imaging technologies, enabling precise applicator placement visualization and accurate radiation dose planning.
Fletcher and Henschke Applicators
Fletcher and
Henschke applicator sets are composed of a pair of intrauterine tubes (tandem) and a pair of vaginal ovoids or colpostats. These are utilized for interstitial radiation treatment of cervical and uterine cancers.
Segmented Vaginal Applicator
This applicator is designed for
vaginal brachytherapy, and can be segmented to cater to unique patient anatomy and tumor geometries for precise radiation delivery.
Miami Applicator
The
Miami Applicator is a unique innovation in HDR brachytherapy, catering specifically to the treatment of locally advanced gynecologic malignancies.
2/3 Endometrial Applicator Sets
This set is designed to assist in the application of HDR brachytherapy for the treatment of endometrial and uterine cancers.
CT HDR Ring & Tandem Applicator with Rectal Retractor
It includes a rectal retractor, which aids in protecting surrounding healthy tissues and organs from radiation dose during gynecological brachytherapy.
Each of these applicators plays a crucial role throughout the therapy process, from precise insertion and placement to optimized dose distribution. As a healthcare professional, being aware of these applicators and their role in patient treatment takes us a step closer to comprehensive and personalized healthcare delivery.
