Elec­tron Beam Ion Sources (EBIS) are pow­er­ful tools to pro­duce ions over a wide ion charge spec­trum for near­by all el­e­ments. A wide spec­trum of very dif­fer­ent ap­pli­ca­tions of EBIS is known. The EBIS are used in basic re­search as well as in ap­pli­ca­tions of dif­fer­ent fields of tech­nol­o­gy but also in con­junc­tion with par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tors. With the Dres­den EBIS ion source fam­i­ly com­pact ion sources for the pro­duc­tion of high­ly charged ions (HCIs) as plat­form tech­nol­o­gy for a wide field of ap­pli­ca­tions are avail­able. The Dres­den EBIS-A is a com­pact, long-term sta­ble room-tem­per­a­ture ion source and the Dres­den EBIS-SC a new su­per­con­duct­ing high-cur­rent EBIS for the pro­duc­tion of high cur­rents of HCI. Sig­nif­i­cant pa­ram­e­ters of these ion sources are com­pared in the pre­sent paper. This paper dis­cuss­es the per­for­mance of the pre­sent­ed ion sources for the pro­duc­tion of HCIs, com­pare the sources with other ex­ist­ing ma­chines and dis­cuss­es the us­abil­i­ty of the Dres­den EBIS sources in con­nec­tion with dif­fer­ent types of ac­cel­er­a­tors. It is shown that the sources are par­tic­u­lar­ly suit­able for ap­pli­ca­tions in med­i­cal par­ti­cle ther­a­py. The out­stand­ing prop­er­ties of the EBIS favor them for use with CY­CLI­NACS, Rapid Cy­cling Med­i­cal Syn­chrotrons and com­plex syn­chrotron based med­i­cal ir­ra­di­a­tion fa­cil­i­ties.
