Radioactive bandage

A radioactive bandage is a two-layer gauze bandage with radioactive substances applied to the inner layer. This bandage is used for dosed exposure to alpha particles on limited areas of the skin.

Radioactive substances applied to the inner layer of the dressing provide local irradiation of the skin and underlying tissues with alpha particles emitted during the decay of radioactive atoms. Thanks to this, a therapeutic effect is achieved in the treatment of various skin diseases.

The outer layer of the bandage performs a protective function - it prevents radioactive substances from getting out and limits irradiation to only a given area of ​​the skin. The size and shape of the radioactive bandage is selected individually depending on the location and area of ​​the skin lesion.

Radioactive bandage is a two-layer gauze bandage with radioactive substances applied to the inner layer. It is used for dosed exposure to alpha particles on limited areas of the skin.

The radioactive bandage consists of two layers of gauze. Radioactive substances that emit alpha particles are applied to the inner layer. Thanks to the two-layer design, alpha particles affect only a limited area of ​​the patient's skin where the bandage is applied.

Thus, the radioactive dressing allows for localized radiation therapy to treat various skin diseases. The two-layer design protects healthy tissue from radiation. The dosage of radiation is controlled by a doctor by selecting the radioactive substance and exposure time.
