COMS Eye Applicators

Indication

For brachytherapy of primary malignant intraocular tumours, such as uveal melanomas, especially with higher thickness, COMS Eye Applicators are a proven treatment option.
 

Application
 
COMS Eye Applicators (plaques) have been developed in connection with the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study. The set of models selected by Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG ensures a good match to individual tumour sizes.
 
 
Defined Geometry

Positioning of I-125 seeds is well defined using COMS plaques, ensuring good reproducibility in assembling and an accurate dosimetry input. This leads to higher quality treatment planning with loose seeds in comparison with custom made seed applicators.
 
 
User Friendly

COMS Eye Applicators are available in 5 different sizes with diameters of: 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 mm. The applicators consist of a gold plaque shell combined with a silicon insert with an optimised slot pattern. The seeds can be easily attached to the slots –  no glue is necessary for fixation. This saves time and reduces unintentional exposure.
 
 
Cost Efficient

The plaque shells can be reused  for several years. The seeds may also be reused within a time frame,  determined by the source strength.
 
 
Accessory: Diaphanoscope
 
This fibre optic light source is equipped with two different probes. Both transillumination probes are optimised to aid the ophthalmologist in positioning the applicator.
