Abstract: An applicator for use in radiation therapy comprises: a main body for holding a radiation source, wherein the main body has a cavity extending along a main axis of the main body in the interior thereof; and an absorption body which is movably connected to the main body and influences the radiation emerging from the radiation source in such a way that a preferred radiation direction is defined, wherein the absorption body is movable with respect to the main body in such a way that the preferred radiation direction can be tilted into a plurality of different positions relative to the main axis of the main body.

Abstract: Among other things, an applicator means (20) for x-ray radiation therapy for the irradiation of surfaces, as well as a radiation therapy device are described, having an applicator element (21) for taking up a probe tip or a radiation source element of a radiation source means (11). In order to further develop applicator means (20) in such a way that it is especially suitable also for the irradiation of surfaces, it is provided that applicator element (21) for adjusting different beam characteristics has at least one element (27) for influencing the beam, in particular a lens element, which is disposed in an exchangeable manner at/in applicator element (21). In addition, an advantageous fastening means is described, by means of which applicator means (20) can be attached and fixed on the surface to be treated.

Abstract: An applicator means (20) for radiation therapy, having at least one first applicator element for taking up a probe tip or a radiation source element (12) of a radiation source means (11), as well as a radiation therapy device (10) are described. In order to avoid an undesired slipping out of position of applicator means (20), particularly during the irradiation process, it is provided that the first applicator element is designed as an inner applicator element (21), which has a foot region (22), by means of which inner applicator element (21) can be attached to radiation source means (11), that applicator means (20) has a second applicator element which is designed as an outer applicator element (24) relative to inner applicator element (21), that outer applicator element (24) has an uptake space (28) for taking up at least one component of inner applicator element (21), and that inner applicator element (21) is designed so that it can be introduced into outer applicator element (24), at least in regions.

Abstract: In order to improve a surgical saw blade comprising a holder body and a row of teeth which includes a plurality of teeth and is arranged at one end of the holder body wherein each tooth is formed with three flanks in the vicinity of the tip of a tooth such that it will be utilisable in a simple and reliable manner, it is proposed that there be formed between adjacent teeth a channel via which, and in relation to the tip of a tooth, the cuttings of material are adapted to be carried away to behind the row of teeth.
