Coronary artery brachytherapy system applicator, manual-afterloading
Definition
A sterile flexible tube intended to deliver/remove radiation therapy sources into a coronary artery, typically into the lumen of an implanted stent, as part of a manual-afterloading brachytherapy system. It is introduced into the patient and subsequently connected to the brachytherapy system source transfer device; it includes radiopaque markers to monitor the position of the radiation source. Disposable devices associated with the procedure may be included (e.g., syringe, connectors). This is a single-use device.
