An oesophagus brachytherapy system applicator (remote-afterloading) is a specialized medical device used in targeted radiation therapy for oesophageal cancers. It guides the precise placement of radioactive sources within the oesophagus during treatment, ensuring accurate delivery while minimizing exposure to surrounding tissues.
These applicators are typically regulated as high-risk devices due to their role in radiation therapy, often requiring compliance with strict safety and performance standards. They may be supplied as part of a complete brachytherapy system, including associated catheters, needles, or tubes, and are designed for single-use or limited reuse under controlled conditions.
