A brachytherapy injection needle is a sharp, hollow metal tube with a beveled edge designed to deliver radioactive sources directly into body tissues or cavities for targeted cancer treatment. It enables precise placement of radionuclides as part of brachytherapy, a form of internal radiation therapy.
This device is intended for single-use only and may be supplied pre-sterilized and preloaded with the radioactive source. Some versions feature ultrasound-guidance enhancements to improve accuracy during implantation. Regulatory oversight focuses on its sterility, material safety, and performance as a delivery tool for radioactive materials, consistent with its classification as a single-use medical device.
