The MammoSite CED is a simple 4–5 cm spherical single-lumen, silicone device. The CED may be used to assess the lumpectomy cavity and aid in the selection of the appropriate MammoSite RTS applicator. It may be used during surgery to assess skin spacing and conformance. The MammoSite CED may also be left in the lumpectomy cavity as a placeholder until it is exchanged for the MammoSite RTS applicator.
