iCAD Launches New Cervical Applicator
July 14, 2015
iCAD has launched a new cervical applicator for its Xoft Axxent electronic brachytherapy cancer treatment system, the Nashua, N.H., devicemaker said Tuesday.
The applicator works by administering a precise dose of radiation to targeted areas of the cervix while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue, the company says.
The Xoft system is FDA-cleared and CE Marked for treatment anywhere in the body, including that for non-melanoma skin cancer, early-stage breast cancer and gynecological cancers.
Both the applicator and system are being showcased at the American Associations of Physicists in Medicine’s annual meeting in Anaheim, Calif. — Jason Scott
