Ru-106 Eye Applicators
Beta Radiation for Eye Tumor Treatment
Ophthalmic plaques with excellent safety profile and proven efficacy
A well-established treatment of uveal melanoma and retinoblastoma, which maximizes any opportunity for conserving the eye and vision
First Choice Treatment
In most centers, plaque radiotherapy is the first choice of treatment for uveal melanoma. Ru-106 Eye Applicators require no assembly before use and have a half-life of 373.6 days which allows for multiple uses over a one-year period.
Ergonomic Design
Only 1 mm in thickness, Ru-106 plaques are easy to position on the globe. A selection of 13 different models enable dosimetry to be optimized according to tumor size and shape.
Beneficial Beta Radiation
The beta radiation emitted by Ru-106/Rh-106 has a limited range, providing a high dose to tumors up to 5 mm in thickness, while reducing the risk of collateral damage to optic disc and fovea.
Source Strength and Depth Dose Rate
Plaques come with an extensive individual source certificate, documenting the axial dose rate in 1 mm steps from the applicator surface including the reference dose rate at 2 mm distance.
Accessories
- Dedicated Safety and SterilizationContainer
- Transparent, single-use templates to poptimize positioning of applicators, available for all applicators
- Fiberoptic transilluminator to define tumor margins and check plaque position
