Abstract

The appliance comprises a core wire 1 on which is mounted a coil 3 of radioactive material. A first proximal radiopaque coil configuration 4 and a second distal radiopaque coil configuration 5 maintain and locate the radioactive radiation coil 3 on the core wire thereby assuring positioning thereof on the core wire 1 and accurate visualization via X-ray fluoroscopy.
