Rectangular and L-shaped TBSA made of medical grade PVC films. The applicator consists of a dual-input dual-output water bolus with open cell filter foam, thermal mapping catheters on skin contacting side for feedback control and an array of PVC tubing for HDR brachytherapy. The 915 MHz heating array (CMA) is placed between the bolus and brachytherapy tubing array. Elastic attachment with Velcro strap is used to support the TBSA securely to the patient torso. A stretchable vest is used to restrict TBSA movement with respect to the target.
