Multisource remote afterloader, consisting of four stacks of five linear actuators in the vertical orientation. A flexible stainless steel braided wire from each actuator is attached to the nitinol catheter (blue) via a keyed cuff and is fed into a guide box. Each shielded source is attached to a nitinol catheter which travels and rotates inside its corresponding needle. The braided wires attached to the linear actuators’ carriage require guide tubes as well.
