ZEISS INTRABEAM 600

  • Local precision
  • Time matters
  • Proven performance

Local precision

The X-ray source (XRS) with different applicator types creates a very focused radiation field. This leads to a targeted local high dose irradiation and enables increased tumor bed sterilization.1 A very low radiation scattering spares healthy structures and organs at risk from radiation reducing unwanted side-effects2 in contrary to conventional treatment workflows.

Precision and immediacy - one step ahead with IORT during tumor resection

Treatment versatility with our different types of INTRABEAM® Applicators from ZEISS

ZEISS INTRABEAM Spherical Applicator

The ZEISS INTRABEAM Spherical Applicator can be used for the intracavitary intraoperative delivery of radiation to the tumor bed, e.g. at the time of breast conserving surgery.

ZEISS INTRABEAM Needle Applicator

The ZEISS INTRABEAM Needle Applicator can be used for the interstitial irradiation of tumors, e.g. in the treatment of vertebral metastases or brain tumors.

ZEISS INTRABEAM Flat Applicator

The ZEISS INTRABEAM Flat Applicator can be used for the treatment of the tumor bed on surgically exposed surfaces, e.g. tumors of the gastrointestinal tract.

ZEISS INTRABEAM Surface Applicator

The ZEISS INTRABEAM Surface Applicator can be used in the treatment of the tumor bed on the surface of the body, for example, irradiation of non-melanoma skin cancers.

Time matters

Immediate irradiation during surgery in the OR prevents tumor reformation stimulated by wound healing after resection3,4 and can lead to shorter overall treatments. This efficiently saves hospital time without compromising outcomes and lets patients benefit from a completed treatment while sleeping.5

Shorter overall treatments

Post-operative treatment times of up to 6.5 weeks can be reduced to 3-5 weeks or even be eliminated for selected patients when adding IORT during breast-conserving surgery (BCS).2

Proven performance

ZEISS INTRABEAM devices have an extensive record of +250 peer-reviewed publications and +20 studies from over 30 countries confirming the clinical value of personalized and patient-centric IORT treatment options. This helps you to meet future clinical demands and secure reimbursements – a primary aspect of successful healthcare management in the future.
