Esophagus Applicator Set

The Esophagus Applicator Set has been designed for HDR brachytherapy treatment of the esophagus. The different diameters of the bougie ensure an appropriate radial distance by keeping the esophagus mucosa away from areas of high dose-gradient. With a 2 mm universal applicator inside the bougie, the source can be placed in a centered radial position relative to the treated tissue. The universal applicator is fixed to the bougie with special adapters. The bougie can be inserted either under fluoroscopy or by using the guidewires for Seldinger technique under endoscopic examination.
