The radiation implant brief will accommodate LDR and HDR gyn brachytherapy applicators. The brief is made of a soft cotton lycra spandex and is sized according to a womens standard undergarment size. A slit in the fabric allows the physician to insert the applicator and catheters and to pack the vaginal cavity with gauze. The implant is held in place by a strap that goes between the leg from front to back.
The brief is comfortable for the patient as no labia sutures or tape are needed. The brief covers the patient genitalia and perineum which helps maintain the patient’s dignity. .
