An improved cervical radium applicator.
Design improvements have retained the advantages of a previously described afterloading radium system, while facilitating insertion by minimizing the space required for passing the apparatus through the introitus. The mechanical integration of the parts of the apparatus results in smoother insertion, reliability of positioning, and less patient discomfort.
