An after loading colpostat (using standard source tubes).
An afterloading system for the treatment of gynaecological patients is described. It uses a rigid tandem to which afterloading colpostats are attached. The catheters for afterloading the colpostats are flexible thus minimizing patient discomfort. A constant 90 deg. alignment of source tubes between the uterine tandem and colpostats is achieved.
