Abstract: An intracavitary applicator, such as a vaginal applicator, includes an elongate outer shell selectively housing an elongate cylinder insert, each having an open, proximal end and a closed and curved, distal end. An endcap selectively closes the proximal ends. A central through-bore extends substantially the length of the cylinder insert. Outer guide channels run along the length and around the curved distal end of the cylinder insert to terminate near an opening of the central through-bore. Guide holes and an endcap through-bore on the endcap align and communicate with the guide channels and central through-bore, respectively, when assembled to form pathways for introduction of radioactive sources and/or other instruments. The outer shell has a thinner wall at the distal end than the side to enable the insert to be closer to the target treatment area. An anchor collar can be used to fix positioning of the intracavitary applicator.

Abstract: A double-balloon brachytherapy catheter includes an outer-balloon that is filled with a liquid substance or air via an outer-balloon-filler. Further, an inner-balloon is filled with a liquid substance or air via an inner-balloon-filler, with the inner-balloon inserted inside the outer-balloon. Additionally, a plurality of radiation-tubes is positioned in association within the inner-balloon, such as to an outside border of the inner-balloon and within the outer-balloon. Each radiation-tube out of the plurality is segmented into segments of differing hardness. In addition, a vacuum-tube can be wrapped around an exterior of the outer-balloon, where the vacuum tube is used to remove fluids and air to create a void. Also, the plurality of radiation-tubes can be configured to run longitudinally along a central shaft of the double-balloon brachytherapy catheter.

Abstract: According to one general aspect, there is an double-balloon breast brachytherapy catheter comprising, an outer-balloon that is filled with a liquid substance or air via an out-balloon-filler; an inner-balloon that is filled with a liquid substance or air via an inner-balloon-filler, wherein the inner-balloon is inserted inside the outer-balloon; a plurality of radiation-tubes connected to an outside boarder of the inner balloon; a vacuum-tube that is wrapped around an exterior of the outer-balloon, wherein the vacuum tube is used to remove human fluids and air to create a void; and a flexible-shaft is connected to an upper-head, a proximal-tail and a distal-tip, wherein the upper-head is covered by the outer-balloon, the inner-balloon, the plurality of radiation-tubes and the vacuum-tube.
