The FSD Shielded Round Long Handle Afterloading Applicator employs the same features as the Rectangular Handle Fletcher-Suit Afterloading Applicator but is less bulky, lighter, and has an easier loading procedure of the source. The applicator handle measures 19 cm long to the ovoid.  The stainless steel ovoids are 20 mm diameter x 30 mm high and have an angle of 15⁰.  They have immovable tungsten shielding for bladder and rectal protection. The applicator uses a two piece adjustable handle pivot bracket with a tandem support hook.  The applicator bucket carriers accommodate either Cesium 137 or Radium 226 sources up to 3.4 mm diameter x 23 mm long. Dummy sources are available (Item 985-000 to 985-031). The tandems are marked every 2 cm over an 8 cm range.
