Flexitron® Brachytherapy Afterloading Platform Safety through simplicity

Redesigning treatment delivery – Completely Today’s brachytherapy treatment delivery has organically evolved from the first remote afterloaders in the 1960s and 1970s. Every aspect of the technology is well thought through, and quality and functionality have been improved over the years. The complexity of the process however, has remained unaddressed resulting in inefficiencies or even use errors, as confirmed by ICRP publication 97. Technical limitations in current system design may inhibit implementation of new innovations. That is why we started from scratch and designed a brand new...
