Thermoplastic Radiotherapy Immobilization Cancer Patient Fixation and Position Device

This product can be softening and plasticity under the lower temperature and it is a new type of polymers. It character changes according to the temperature. Under the normal room temperature (20 to 30℃ ), the material is solid state, hard texture;  Our product can be put into the hot water (The Temperature about 65-75 ℃) about 2-3 minutes, it will be soften, and you can make to any shape. Our product very light, good breath ability, high strength, very good tensile, you can stretch it freely, X-ray permeability very good, no stimulation to the skin, biodegradable.

[Cautions]:

1. When you are heating the material in hot water with about 65-75℃, the water must below 176℉(80℃) be sure to maintain the appropriate time, neither too long nor too short, in general, it is enough to make it soften and activated about 2-3min.

2. After the positioning mask was soften, it could be operated within 2-3 minutes in room temperature surrounding . The surrounding temperature would affect the level of hardening.

3. It is important that the thermoplastic are completely cool before removing it from patient, if remove it when still warm, it will cause additional shrinkage and will be very tight in the patient. A cool, damp towel can help speed the cooling process.

4. Be careful with using.
