Prostate brachytherapy system applicators (manual) are medical devices used in targeted radiation therapy for prostate cancer. These applicators help physicians precisely place radioactive sources within the prostate tissue, delivering localized treatment to shrink or destroy tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
These devices are typically classified as surgical instruments and are regulated based on their risk level and intended use. They may be supplied as standalone applicators, modular kits, or part of a larger brachytherapy workstation, often requiring clinical validation for proper placement and treatment accuracy before use.
