No, the mask is designed to be lightweight and breathable designed for patients comfort. While the initial fitting may feel tight, it does not cause pain. Patient gets quickly adjusted without experiencing discomfort.
Our positioning devices are designed to be compatible with all major LINAC systems and CT simulators. With the help of the indexing bar, all positioning devices can be securely fixed onto the couch top or the couch overlay.
Mask immobilization devices are typically made from medical-grade thermoplastic materials. These thermoplastics are heat-sensitive and become pliable when warmed, allowing clinicians to mold them precisely to a patient’s contours. Once cooled, the material hardens to maintain a rigid and reproducible shape, ensuring consistent patient positioning during each treatment session.
The Thermoplastic materials are used because it is a heat-sensitive plastics that become soft when heated and harden as they cool. This allows clinicians to custom-mold them to a patient’s anatomy, ensuring a snug, reproducible fit for head, neck, or body immobilization during treatment.
Yes, the mask materials are completely safe. They are biocompatible, non-toxic, and hypoallergenic. All thermoplastics used in radiotherapy masks are tested to meet stringent international safety and medical standards, ensuring they are safe for direct contact with the skin and comfortable for patient use.
Creating a custom-fit immobilization device—such as a thermoplastic mask—typically takes 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the anatomical area being immobilized and the quality of the material used. The process is quick, safe, and non-invasive, involving softening the material (usually in warm water) and molding it directly to the patient’s contours as it cools and hardens.
No. The materials are specifically chosen for their radiotransparency, meaning they minimally attenuate or scatter radiation, ensuring that radiation doses are delivered.
Carbon fiber is strong, lightweight, and radiolucent, meaning it does not significantly interfere with imaging or radiation beams. This makes it ideal for supporting structures like baseplates, ensuring precise positioning without affecting treatment accuracy.
