Manual brachytherapy system

Manual brachytherapy systems are specialized medical devices used to deliver precise, localized radiation therapy to treat cancers or other conditions. They involve manually positioning radioactive sources—such as seeds, wires, or applicators—directly within or near tumors to target treatment areas like skin, tissue, or cavities while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.

These systems are typically regulated as high-risk medical devices due to their radioactive components, requiring compliance with strict safety and quality standards. They are often supplied as kits or assemblies, combining applicators, sources, and accessories, and may be classified differently depending on the jurisdiction and intended use (e.g., temporary vs. permanent implantation).
