Cervical/intrauterine brachytherapy system applicators are specialized medical devices used in radiation therapy for cervical or uterine cancers. They serve as precise guides for delivering targeted radioactive sources directly to tumors while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue, often during outpatient procedures.
These applicators are typically regulated as high-risk medical devices due to their role in radiation treatment, with classification varying by jurisdiction. They are generally supplied as part of a remote-afterloading system, ensuring controlled source placement and removal during therapy sessions.
