It can be used either as primary treatment for residual disease after excision of primary or recurrent tumors. This brachytherapy source may be used concurrently with or following treatment with other interventions, such as external beam therapy.

The CivaDerm utilizes biocompatible materials and bioabsorbable polymers to encapsulate Pd-103, a radionuclide with a long history in radiotherapy. CivaDerm is a planar unidirectional source intended to deliver x-ray radiation for surface brachytherapy procedures. By utilizing gold backing with the radionuclide. CivaDerm provides radiation in one direction. This allows it to target radiation dose to a contoured exterior surface without irradiating surrounding healthy tissue.
