Nova Surface Applicator is a 3D printed patient-matched radiation therapy accessory that expands the application of High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy by providing a patient-specific fit and catheter trajectory design. The applicator is only suitable for use by qualified medical professionals such as radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and radiation therapists. It is only intended to be utilized in radiation therapy, where a patient requires a total prescription dose on or near the skin surface. The device is made of methacrylic resin.
A general-purpose brachytherapy applicator designed to facilitate delivery of radiation therapy treatments that are not specific to a particular anatomical region. It is an individual or modular device designed to facilitate manual placement, e.g., puncture, topical placement, endoscopically guided placement or diagnostic imaging system guided placement, and removal of single or multiple radioactive sources at a treatment site. The device may be a fixed design or designed to facilitate the creation of variable physical configurations or individual patient source placement configurations and includes general-purpose applicators such as hollow needles, tubes or catheters, ovoids or tandems.
