VacFix® Radiotherapy Fixation Table

The VacFix® Fixation Table is engineered to be an ideal accessory for any type of fixation setup. Its primary function is to serve as a reliable foundation in the mould room, where it supports the creation of highly reproducible patient positioning solutions. The table is designed with an emphasis on ergonomics and flexibility, allowing clinicians to adjust the height from 48 to 90 cm (excluding the tabletop thickness) to ensure a comfortable and efficient working posture. This adaptability minimizes physical strain and enhances the overall setup process.

The tabletop, with a special design measuring 230 x 53 cm, provides ample space for a wide range of fixation procedures. Its compatibility with Varian or Elekta couch top indexing ensures a smooth transition from the mould room to the treatment room. Additionally, position guides can be easily mounted to the tabletop using double-sided adhesive tape, allowing for precise and repeatable setups. This seamless integration with existing clinical equipment saves valuable time and reduces the potential for setup errors. The robust construction ensures a stable platform, even when molding large or complex cushions, providing peace of mind for staff. The table is equipped with four sturdy wheels and four solid steel legs, ensuring a safe and stable position during the fixation process. This stability is critical for achieving the highest level of accuracy and patient comfort.

How It Works

The Fixation Table provides a stable platform for molding VacFix® cushions and other patient fixation accessories. Its height-adjustable feature allows the clinician to work comfortably while shaping the immobilization device. The ability to mount position guides helps in aligning and customizing the cushions to the patient’s anatomy, ensuring a precise and reproducible mold before the patient is moved to the treatment couch. The table also features a foot switch for accurate height positioning, allowing for hands-free adjustments during the setup process. This feature further streamlines the workflow, making it easier for staff to achieve the perfect position.

Benefits
