Radiotherapy thermoplastic Masks ----Immobilizing and positioning patients for radiotherapy
About our Radiotherapy thermoplastic mask
Radiotherapy positioning mask is made of low temperature thermoplastic plate, is a new type of polymer polyester medical material, used for radiotherapy positioning, orthopedic external fixation, orthosis, rehabilitation brace. It's the most ideal external fixation material in radiotherapy positioning. As the material has the outstanding performance of not absorbing radiation, heating and softening. Besides, its unique shape memory function (secondary heating, re-molding or local heating reshaping when the molding is not satisfactory) enables easy positioning, precise repositioning and high patient comfort during the treatment.
Features and benefits
1. Low activation temperature 65-70ºC (149°F-158°F):
It can be moulded directly on the patient and does not become too soft or stretchy when overheated.
Can be activated in hot water or oven.
Cools down and hardens in a few minutes.
Short cooling time still allowing enough time for a correct moulding.
2. Non-stick coating:
High comfort for the patient.
For easy handling of the fixation mask during the moulding.
No need to use silicone spray to prevent sticking.
When stuck to itself or to accessories, it can be pulled apart easily.
3. High elastic memory:
Remouldable: correction or complete remoulding possible in case of error or changes in the anatomy of the patient.
4. Low shrinkage:
Keeps shape and size determined by the user during the moulding.
No risk for excessive pressure or compression.
5. X-ray translucent:
Low attenuation.
6. Available in different perforations, coatings and shapes.
For various mask systems
Directions of operation:
1.Make sure the temperature of the water bath is between 65-70ºC (149°F-158°F).
2.Place the mask into water bath for 2-3 minutes till the mask becomes completely transparent and soft. Then take the mask out to the operation table , use soft towel to dry it quickly and softly.
3.Put the mask on the patient's position , stretch it at a constant speed and fix it on the pointed base board. The molding operation time is 3-5 minutes.
4.When the mask become completely hard , mark the cure position and take it out for treatment .
Storage condition:
Store in cool and dry place in normal room
