ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic instrument for irradiative treatment of the genital tract is provided comprising a tubular applicator, a separable vaginal retainer and an interlocking structure between the two. The tandem is adapted to receive a linear tube containing multiple sources of radiant energy and terminates at its inner end in a curved intrauterine portion. Two halves of the separable retainer surround the tandem and cooperatively form a vaginal cylinder for occupying the vaginal vault and a handle. The interlocking structure includes outwardly extending projections and cavities in the handle so positioned that the structure is visible to the physician at all times.
