The VacFix Sarcoma Cushion is a specialised radiotherapy immobilisation solution developed specifically for sarcoma treatments. Its purpose is to keep the healthy leg safely positioned outside of the treatment area, protecting non-target tissue while maintaining reproducibility throughout the course of therapy.
During setup, the pelvis and one leg are first moulded into the cushion. A temporary moulding of the healthy leg is performed for the CT scan. After imaging, the healthy leg is then repositioned and moulded away from the treatment field. This ensures the treatment plan can be delivered with high accuracy while reducing unnecessary dose to the unaffected limb.
By combining reproducible immobilisation with patient comfort, the VacFix® Sarcoma Cushion supports precise radiotherapy delivery in complex lower-body treatment cases.
Sarcoma treatment – protects the healthy leg from unnecessary exposure
Pelvic immobilisation – stable support during treatment planning and delivery
Lower limb radiotherapy – reproducible positioning across multiple fractions
CT simulation – enables temporary moulding for accurate imaging and treatment setup
