A thin re-usable stainless steel ophthalmic applicator is described. The radioactive Iodine-125 sources are inserted in an acrylic button which fits neatly into a stainless steel shell 1 mm thick. The applicator can be assembled with the radioactive sources precisely positioned without the use of adhesives or mechanical devices such as clamps or screws in a matter of a few minutes, (under sterile conditions if necessary). The applicator can be dismantled in seconds after which it is ready for cleaning and re-sterilization. The overall thickness of the plaque is 2.6 mm, but this has the potential to be reduced to 2.1 mm. Suture holes are provided on a flange subtending 120 degrees around the circumference of the shell and are exactly matched on a stainless steel template.
描述了一种薄的可重复使用的不锈钢眼科敷贴器。放射性碘 - 125源被插入一个丙烯酸按钮中,该按钮能整齐地装入一个1毫米厚的不锈钢外壳。敷贴器可以在几分钟内(必要时在无菌条件下)将放射源精确放置好进行组装,无需使用粘合剂或诸如夹子或螺丝之类的机械装置。敷贴器能在几秒钟内拆卸,之后即可进行清洁和重新灭菌。斑块的总厚度为2.6毫米,但有可能减至2.1毫米。在围绕外壳圆周对向120度的凸缘上设有缝合孔,并且在一个不锈钢模板上精确匹配。
