Zusammenfassung: | A radioactive source ribbon assembly comprises an outer jacket formed from or coated with a lubricious coating for insertion into the delivery sheath or catheter. The assembly includes a radiation resistant sleeve formed from a braided structure which encapsulates a radioactive source and core. The braided structure is the primary axial load bearing member of the assembly and functions as such without sacrificing assembly flexibility. The assembly can be reusably utilized in conjunction with a delivery sheath or catheter for delivering therapeutic dosages of ionizing radiation to various anatomical regions. |
