Product Description
Radiotherapy thermoplastic Masks are essential for immobilizing and positioning patients during radiotherapy sessions. Made of low-temperature thermoplastic plate, this new type of polymer polyester medical material is ideal for orthopedic external fixation, orthosis, and rehabilitation braces.
The material offers outstanding performance by not absorbing radiation. Its unique shape memory function allows for secondary heating and re-molding, ensuring precise repositioning and high patient comfort during treatment.
Key Features and Benefits
1
Low Activation Temperature (65-70ºC / 149°F-158°F):
Moulded directly on the patient; it won't become too soft or stretchy. It can be activated in a hot water bath or oven, cooling down to harden in minutes.
2
Non-stick Coating:
Ensures high comfort and easy handling during moulding without the need for silicone sprays. It can be pulled apart easily if it sticks to itself.
3
High Elastic Memory:
Remouldable and corrective moulding is possible if errors occur or patient anatomy changes.
4
Low Shrinkage:
Keeps the determined shape and size without risk of excessive pressure or compression.
5
X-ray Translucent:
Provides low attenuation for accurate imaging and treatment.
Directions of Operation
- Maintain the water bath temperature between 65-70ºC (149°F-158°F).
- Immerse the mask for 2-3 minutes until it becomes transparent and soft. Dry quickly with a soft towel.
- Place on the patient, stretch at a constant speed, and fix to the base board. Molding takes 3-5 minutes.
- Once hardened, mark the position for treatment.
Storage Conditions
Store in a cool and dry place at normal room temperature.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal activation temperature for the mask?
The ideal activation temperature is between 65-70ºC (149°F-158°F) in a water bath or oven.
Is it possible to remold the mask if a mistake is made?
Yes, the material features high elastic memory, making it remouldable if correction or complete reshaping is needed.
Does the mask interfere with X-rays during treatment?
No, the mask is X-ray translucent and features low attenuation, ensuring it does not interfere with radiotherapy imaging.
How long does the molding process take on a patient?
The molding operation time is typically 3-5 minutes, and it hardens completely within a few minutes.
What material is used for these radiotherapy masks?
The masks are made from a low-temperature thermoplastic plate, specifically a polymer polyester medical material (PCL).
Does the mask stick to the skin or accessories?
The mask features a non-stick coating for patient comfort and can be easily pulled apart if it sticks to itself during handling.
