Brachy, and also allows working with the full spectrum of brachytherapy implants, from the simplest to the most complex. Flexitron is a valuable long-term asset for your clinical practice.

The Flexitron family includes various configurations. For the first time, a brachytherapy device can work with both cobalt (Co-60) and iridium sources (Ir-192).

The choice of device depends on patient flow at each individual medical institution. The choice of radiation source depends primarily on logistics capabilities for source delivery and the number of patients.

For example, high patient flow and use of multi-channel procedures require systems with iridium sources. Limited source import capabilities, combined with low patient flow, allows installing a device with a cobalt source.

The choice of number of channels directly depends on pathologies and brachytherapy techniques.

10-channel systems are mainly used for treating gynecological pathologies, esophageal pathologies, bronchi, etc.

20-channel systems allow performing all standard brachytherapy procedures, including prostate, breast, head and neck treatment, etc.

40-channel systems have no application limitations, including the most advanced radiotherapy techniques.

The Flexitron® system brings new standards to radiation therapy:

• Standard transfer tube length: no longer necessary to enter tube length values. All tubes have a standard length of 1000 mm.
• Source stop position is reflected in position value encoding

Numerical encoding of metric source stop position values fully corresponds to its actual position: 1 = 1 mm, 400 = 400 mm

• Zero point at applicator entry point. Simply start counting at the beginning, eliminating the need for distal tip measurements.
• Source movement only FORWARD! Step-by-step forward source movement has been Elekta's hallmark in brachytherapy for many years.
