VacFix® Breast Fixation – Radiotherapy Immobilisation Device

Description:

The VacFix® Breast Fixation system uses mouldable VacFix® cushions to deliver precise, reproducible immobilisation for breast and thoracic radiotherapy. Once vacuumed, the cushion conforms to the patient’s upper body, ensuring stability and accuracy throughout treatment while improving overall comfort. By supporting the torso in a consistent treatment position, the cushion reduces muscle strain and helps patients remain still during extended sessions. Each cushion moulds securely to individual anatomy, providing a customised fit that limits movement and enhances reproducibility between fractions. This reliable form of radiotherapy immobilisation improves accuracy and reduces the risk of setup errors. Clinics also benefit from faster preparation, smoother workflows, and long-term cost efficiency thanks to the durable and reusable nature of the VacFix® cushions. For oncology teams, this system represents a proven approach to breast radiotherapy immobilisation, balancing safety, efficiency, and patient confidence.

VacFix Breast Fixation

The VacFix® Breast Fixation system is a dedicated radiotherapy fixation solution designed to deliver precise and reproducible positioning during breast and chest wall treatments. Using mouldable VacFix® cushions, the system adapts to the patient’s anatomy, creating a stable, patient-specific support platform that ensures consistent setups across every fraction.

The cushion conforms to the torso and upper body, helping reduce involuntary movement and improving overall comfort. This approach to breast radiotherapy immobilisation enhances accuracy, reduces errors, and supports clinical workflow efficiency.

In busy radiotherapy centres, time and reproducibility are critical. The VacFix® Breast Fixation system reduces setup variability, shortens preparation time, and ensures patients remain stable and comfortable throughout longer sessions. This balance of accuracy and usability makes it a trusted solution in oncology departments worldwide.

Applications

  • Breast radiotherapy – reproducible positioning for tangential and conformal fields

  • Chest wall treatments – stable immobilisation across fractions
