A better way to treat Accessible Tumours

The Papillon+ system offers a turnkey solution. Providing everything needed for successful treatment of multiple cancer sites through our Flat, Surface and Spherical applicators. Because our portable x-ray generator can facilitate multiple treatments, we can demonstrate significant clinical and financial benefits versus single treatment solutions.

Wireless and portable

Papillon+ allows X-ray brachytherapy treatments to be carried out in Brachytherapy Suites, Treatment Rooms and Operating Theatres.

High Dose Rate

Dose rate of >10 Gy/minute allows treatments to be delivered quickly and efficiently.

Improved Treatment Outcomes

The ‘Papillon’ technique for the treatment of rectal cancer can prevent the need for a colostomy. Resulting in reduced hospital bed time & surgical expense vs. radical surgical options.

About Ariane Medical Systems

Bringing X-ray brachytherapy into the 21st century with the Papillon 50 and Papillon+.
We incorporated Ariane Medical Systems in 2005. Since then we have worked alongside our clinical partners, to optimise the delivery of low-energy X-rays to accessible tumours. Our Papillon 50 X-ray brachytherapy system was developed for the treatment of lower rectal cancers. The Papillon 50 is now treating patients in Denmark, France, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.

Following our success with the Papillon 50 for Rectal treatments, we developed the Papillon+. The new and improved system provides a truly portable and wireless system for the application of low-energy x-rays in the treatment of accessible tumours. The generator acts as a turnkey solution accepting a range of applicators which modify the x-ray beam profile. The range of applicators allow the device to provide 180° planar dose to circular treatment fields from 10 – 40mm diameter and 310° spherical isotropic dose distribution from 25 – 50 mm diameter with dose rates in excess of 10 Gy/min and low shielding requirements.
