Multi-purpose balloon catheter for intra cavity radiation delivery

A multi-purpose balloon intra-cavity catheter for a medical treatment, comprising:

• a single intra-cavity catheter having a proximal end portion, a central portion and a non-branching distal end portion;
• a plurality of lumens positioned in association with the single intra-cavity catheter extending from the proximal end portion of the single intra-cavity catheter;
• a plurality of independent and distinct balloon groups positioned in association with the central portion of the single intra-cavity catheter, each independent and distinct balloon group being independently spaced from each other independent and distinct balloon group on the single intra-cavity catheter, each independent and distinct balloon group positioned in a non-overlapping contiguous arrangement on a same longitudinal axis of the single intra-cavity catheter, each of the plurality of independent and distinct balloon groups including at least one inflatable balloon, and each of the plurality of independent and distinct balloon groups being communicatively associated with a corresponding at least one of the plurality of lumens, wherein the plurality of lumens includes a central lumen coaxially positioned within a larger main lumen extending longitudinally through the single intra-cavity catheter to the distal end portion;
• and
• a secondary treatment balloon assembly including a secondary treatment balloon, the secondary treatment balloon assembly communicatively associated with the non-branching distal end portion of the single intra-cavity catheter via a neck area of the secondary treatment balloon assembly configured to communicatively connect the secondary treatment balloon assembly to the non-branching distal end portion of the single intra-cavity catheter, the secondary treatment balloon assembly having a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism configured to detachably and interchangeably connect via suitable connectors, the secondary treatment balloon assembly to the single intra-cavity catheter at a proximal end of the neck area of the secondary treatment balloon assembly, the secondary treatment balloon including an outer secondary treatment balloon and an inner secondary treatment balloon, the outer secondary treatment balloon and the inner secondary treatment balloon are each communicatively associated with the central lumen that extends through the neck area, the central lumen in communication with the outer secondary treatment balloon and the inner secondary treatment balloon being configured to one or more of respectively receive and to selectively provide at least one of a liquid saline solution, a fluid medium, a gaseous medium, a contrast medium, a radioactive material or other treatment medium to the secondary treatment balloon for the medical treatment or to enable selectively inflating or deflating the secondary treatment balloon to selectively position the secondary treatment balloon in the body cavity or surgically created cavity to be treated,
• wherein the secondary treatment balloon comprises at least one first secondary treatment lumen positioned in association with the inner secondary treatment balloon and at least one second secondary treatment lumen positioned in the inner secondary treatment balloon.
