The new Prone Breast Positioner provides a prone positioning solution for both Brachytherapy and external beam radiation therapy. During a brachytherapy treatment prone positioning pulls the breast and the radioactive source away from the chest wall decreasing exposure to surrounding tissue while promoting skin sparing. Breast treatment in the prone position while using external beam reduces exposure to the heart and lungs while providing a more uniform dose delivery plan.

The Prone Breast Positioner effectively promotes the patient's treatment by providing a comfortable and reproducible positioning product.

  • Increase Patient Throughput: Proper patient positioning expedites the treatment process. The new Prone Breast Positioner assists in properly aligning the treatment fields with reproducible accuracy. Cutouts on the side of the positioner provide easy access to the brachytherapy applicators as well as markings for external beam treatments.
  • Customized Setups: The positioner utilizes inserts with different curvatures and heightsto stabilize and isolate the affected breast for treatment purposes. A wide variety of inserts allow you to customize your setups providing effective repositioning for the patient. The stackable design accommodates various breast/patient sizes.
  • Patient Centered Comfort: The Prone Breast Positioner also focuses on patient comfort. By providing a more patient-friendly foam base, the patient is less likely to become uncomfortable and move. The material also is imaging friendly with all modalities.
