Geneva Universal Gynecological Applicator
Modular design without compromise, Geneva provides brachytherapy for cervical cancer treatment
For all centers providing Gynecological brachytherapy treatment
Easy to use, Geneva is an adaptable solution that optimizes accuracy
Brachytherapy is used widely alongside external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.
Geneva applicator permits the reproducible application of high dose rate brachytherapy for both definitive and adjuvant cervical cancer treatment.
Brachytherapy radiation treatment with Geneva is significantly more effective and precise than external beam radiation therapy alone.
Geneva represents a straightforward and affordable yet robust brachytherapy applicator designed to be suitable for use for most cervical cancer patients up to stage IIB.

Geneva accommodates most female pelvic anatomies
- From the smallest ovoid size (13 mm) to the largest (40 mm), the intrauterine tube is available in six different lengths (30–80 mm) and at three different angles (15°, 30°, 45°)
- The rectal retractor, available in three different sizes (20–40 mm), can be located at three set positions to ensure maximum protection of the rectum
Interstitial option always available
- Geneva ensures that the option for guided interstitial brachytherapy is always available, even with the smallest ovoids, for optimal target coverage
- The new interstitial tube expands treatment options following hysterectomy
- With ProGuide needles and guiding tube, the interstitial tube facilitates accurate and reproducible dose distributions in hysterectomy patients, and eliminates the need for free-hand needle placement
Improvements made on this new applicator make its operation process more convenient. It also provides new options in smaller sizes for a wider range of clinical applications.
From precise treatment planning to accurate delivery
Geneva is a tandem and ovoid applicator providing a familiar workflow—but its versatile design allows for greater levels of patient comfort during treatment.
Supporting all image-guided brachytherapy treatments
- Designed to be MR and CT safe
- Provides rigidity and will also set up for image guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) due to interstitial option
Fixed geometry for rapid Applicator Modeling in seconds
- The fixed geometry, like other Elekta brachy applicators, reproduces dosimetry and easier applicator reconstruction
No compromise to flexibility
- Spreading capability and allowing for wider reach
- Providing a spread of Ovoid range of 15 mm to 40 mm (source to source) where even the smallest ovoids give a wider reach
