Nova Surface Applicator
A superior tool for optimizing and delivering prescribed dose
Our Nova Surface Applicator software module allows users to automatically design a patient-specific applicator and 3D print it, resulting in customizable catheter trajectories that are specific to the patient’s anatomy and treatment plan with constant, user-defined stand-off and separation distances.
Nova surface applicators are available for order through Adaptiiv On Demand.
Now Compatible With Varian BRAVOS™
Varian BRAVOS™ Afterloader System
Compatibility is now confirmed between Adaptiiv’s Nova Surface Applicator software module and Varian’s BRAVOS™ afterloader system.
BRAVOS™ compatibility for Nova surface applicators has the following catheter tunnel limitations:
- Radius of catheter tunnel bending shall not be less than 25 mm (bend radius threshold).
- Inner catheter tunnel radius shall not be less than 1.3 mm and larger than 1.4 mm.
- Sum of catheter tunnel bending angle shall not be more than 180°.
Please contact us directly to learn more about Varian compatibility.
Key Benefits
The only regulated solution that allows users to customize an applicator and make it patient-specific. Seamlessly import the custom design back into the brachytherapy TPS to conduct dose validation.
-
- Quickly and confidently create patient-specific applicators using tools which allow superior planning and delivery of the prescribed dose to patients while sparing OARs.
- Software optimization eliminates time-consuming and labor-intensive manual fabrication methods, replacing the need for expensive applicators.
- Improved patient experience due to a simplified, faster set up during CT simulation and treatment.
- Applicators are durable and easy to reproduce while improving efficiency, accuracy, and patient safety.
- Adaptiiv software includes numerous post-processing features.
Complex iterations to applicator design can be achieved through point and click capabilities.

Workflow
What People Are Saying
Happy Customers
The limitations of using wax are even worse in brachytherapy cases due to the added complexity of embedding the catheters. Because of the opacity of wax, it can be difficult to verify both the distance from the surface and the spacing between catheters. Fabrication is extremely time consuming and can be done only by the most experienced staff. The Adaptiiv solution addresses all of these problems and will increase our capacity to use surface brachytherapy. At present, this is the only commercially available solution.
