Ovoid Applicators

Ovoid Applicators is a type of intracavitary brachytherapy device designed for gynecologic malignancies that consists of hollow, oval-shaped vaginal cylinders used to deliver localized radiation to the target tissues by housing radioactive sources, distinguished from other applicators by their ovoid geometry and placement within the vaginal cavity.
