About Axxent

The Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy System® utilizes a miniaturized high dose rate  X-ray source to apply radiation directly to the cancerous tumor bed. Unlike traditional high dose rate brachytherapy technologies, this ground-breaking form of brachytherapy does not require radioactive isotopes, heavy shielding, or major capital equipment.

The Axxent System mimics 192Ir in the treatment area, but greatly reduces the amount of radiation delivered to the rest of the body, providing greater sparing of healthy organs and tissue 1,2

  • Delivers the therapeutic dose directly to the tumor bed
  • Unlike radioactive isotopes, radiation is attenuated beyond the area under the Axxent FlexiShield®, thus minimizing the exposure of healthy tissue.

As a complete system of care, the Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System allows for easy incorporation of future applications.
