Prone Breast System

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the Prone Breast System developed by Bionix Radiation Therapy, designed to improve patient positioning during breast radiotherapy. It highlights the benefits of prone positioning over supine positioning in reducing irradiation to non-target tissues.

Research Articles

Prospective Assessment of Optional Individual Position (Prone Versus Supine) for Breast Radiotherapy: This study evaluates volumetric and dosimetric correlations in 100 patients, comparing prone and supine positions.
Long-term Clinical Outcomes of Whole-Breast Irradiation Delivered in the Prone Position: Presented at ASTRO, this research discusses the long-term outcomes of prone positioning in breast irradiation.
Individual Positioning: A Comparative Study of Adjuvant Breast Radiotherapy in the Prone Versus Supine Position: Conducted by the University of Szeged, this study compares the effectiveness of prone versus supine positioning in adjuvant breast radiotherapy.

Prone Breast System (RT-6025)
The system is designed for patient comfort, re-positional accuracy, and ease of use. It reduces irradiation to the chest wall, cardiac tissue, and lungs, accommodating various patient sizes. A portion of proceeds from sales supports breast cancer research.

Comparative Positioning
Figures illustrate the differences between supine and prone positioning. The prone position, using the Bionix system, spares the chest wall and vital organs from irradiation.

Features

Ease of Use: Lightweight and compatible with most treatment couches.
Dose Delivery: Enhanced design for unobstructed lateral fields and accurate, reproducible setups.
Comfort: Includes dual foam face cushion and a 15-degree contralateral wedge for patient tilt.

Manufacturing
Made in the U.S.A., with a low-profile version available upon request.
