主权项

1. A medical device, comprising:
a first catheter configured for insertion into a rectum, the first catheter comprising: a plurality of balloons associated with the first catheter, the plurality of balloons including at least one first inflatable balloon configured to be filled with a liquid or air to fix the first catheter in the rectum and a second inflatable balloon configured to be positioned separate from the at least one first inflatable balloon and configured to be filled with a radioactive material to deliver a radiation dose to tissue; a multi-balloon inflator that selectively inflates the plurality of balloons associated with the first catheter; and a plurality of connections associated with the multi-balloon inflator and configured to enable insertion of the liquid, air or the radioactive material into corresponding ones of the plurality of balloons through the multi-balloon inflator; and a second catheter configured for insertion into a urethra and configured to receive a measuring device for measuring a radiation dose delivered from the first catheter while a radiation dose therapy is applied by the radioactive material during inclusion of the radioactive material in the second inflatable balloon associated with the first catheter.
