BEBIG Plaques
BEBIG plaques

A thin film of Ru-106 is encapsulated within a sheet of pure silver (Ag 99.99), with a total thickness of 1 mm. The plaques are hemispherically shaped with a radius of 12-14 mm. The applicator's surface is polished metal. The plaques have rounded edges, a homogeneous lead seam and eyelets for suturing to the sclera.

Inactive dummies made from silvered copper or PMMA are available for all types of applicators.

Plaque Simulator includes predefined 3D models of these plaques.

The window on the concave side is 0.1 mm thick. The rear surface absorbs approximately 95% of the beta radiation. The nominal surface dose rate in the center of the applicators concave side is 720 cGy/hr. The actual surface dose rate and other calibration data are provided on a certificate which comes with the applicator.
