Brachytherapy applicators used for LDR implants can also be used for HDR. For example, some of the most commonly used applicators, for a variety of HDR applications, are Fletcher-Suit  or Fletcher-Suit-Delclos. These applicators are used for the treatment of gynecologic malignanciesof the uterus, cervix, and pelvic side walls. The applicator set typically consists of three rigid intrauterine tandems, with curvature of 15-, 30-, and 45-degree angles, and a pair of ovoids or colpostats with shields in place to reduce dose to rectum and bladder.
