for enhanced positioning + immobilization Radiation Oncology MEDICAL SOLUTIONS

Thermoplastic Overview Thermoplastic masks offer a reliable method for accurate positioning and immobilization, providing fixed positioning from imaging through treatment. CIVCO provides an extensive line of high quality thermoplastics that are comfortable, easy to use and cost effective. This guide is designed to make choosing and ordering thermoplastics a quick and easy process. The first step in choosing the right mask is determining which patient positioning system appeals to you, since our ZENTEC and Standard White masks are available in Type-S and Uni-frame while Mastercast Pro and Posicast...

Type-S™ Patient Positioning System The Type-S system was designed for IMRT and conformal treatments and is intended to provide minimal attenuation throughout 360° of treatment angles. Type-S thermoplastics offer the greatest variety of IMRT patterns and materials, and the convenience of the continuous frame allows easier handling during setup. The Type-S system is fully compatible with Silverman headrests, the Customizable Head Support, AccuForm™ Cushion with AccuForm Positioner and the Individual Head Support. Posifix headrests can also be used with the Type-S system via an adapter. See CIVCO’s...

Type-S™ Patient Positioning System (cont’d) ZENTEC™ ZENTEC thermoplastics require less heating time and produce a mask that more closely captures the contours of the patient, resulting in a comfortable cast of the patient. In the 2.4 mm thickness, these masks provide a lighter feeling, which offers a more pleasant experience for anxious patients. In the 3.2 mm thickness, this material offers a similarly conforming mask with the added benefit of being our most rigid continuous frame mask. ZENTEC IMRT Style 18 Head Only 2.4 mm ZENTEC IMRT Style 27 Head, Neck & Shoulders 2.4 mm IMRT Reinforced Thermoplastics™...

Type-S™ Patient Positioning System (cont’d) Standard Perforation These thermoplastics feature standard perforation and offer solutions for secure hold on a modest budget. Standard Perforation Standard Perforation Head Only 2.4 mm Standard Perforation Head, Neck & Shoulders 2.4 mm Pediatric Masks Narrower, reloadable thermoplastic frame and masks are available to accommodate pediatric patients. Standard Pediatric Mask Reloadable Frame - Pediatric Standard Perforation Head, Neck & Shoulders 2.4 mm

Posifix® Patient Positioning System Mastercast Pro and Posicast® thermoplastics were both specifically formulated for use with CIVCO’s Posifix Patient Positioning System to provide excellent positioning and reproducibility. As part of the Posifix system, these masks are drape-style masks, requiring less stretching, therefore resulting in less shrinkage after cooling. Another benefit of the system is the flexibility to dock the mask closer to the patient, unlike continuous frame masks which must be wide enough to accommodate a variety of head sizes. See CIVCO’s website for more information on...

Posifix® Patient Positioning System (cont’d) Posicast-Lite Posicast-Lite feels like a traditional thermoplastic with a smooth spray coating on both sides of the mask. Posicast-Lite PR3 Head Only (3 pt) 2.3 mm Posicast-Lite PR31 SRS Head Only (3 pt) 2.3 mm Compatible with trUpoint ARCH™ SRS/SRT System Posicast-Lite PR44 Larynx Extension (3 pt) 2.3 mm Posicast-Lite PR5 Head, Neck & Shoulders (5 pt) 2.3 mm Posicast-Plus Posicast-Plus has a soft polyurethane coating on the patient-contacting side for comfort, while the other side features a smooth spray coating to facilitate marking treatment fields...

Uni-frame® Patient Positioning System The Uni-frame system is our legacy line and has become an industry standard solution for head-only thermoplastics. Uni-frame masks are available in a variety of standard and IMRT patterns, including Tranquility Series masks and the highly conformal ZENTEC™ material. See CIVCO’s website for more information on the complete Uni-frame system. Tranquility™ Series Tranquility Series Thermoplastic Masks were designed with patient comfort and 3D tracking in mind. The masks feature unique patterns that offer a more open feel, yet they are still designed with rigidity...

Uni-frame® Patient Positioning System (cont’d) ZENTEC™ ZENTEC thermoplastics require less heating time and produce a mask that more closely captures the contours of the patient, resulting in a comfortable cast of the patient. In the 2.4 mm thickness, these masks provide a lighter feeling, which offers a more pleasant experience for anxious patients. ZENTEC Style 18 (Type-S shown) ZENTEC IMRT Reinforced Style 18 Head Only 2.4 mm 2.4 mm Wide IMRT Reinforced Thermoplastics™ IMRT Reinforced Thermoplastics feature a combination of perforated and solid thermoplastics to provide rigidity and secure...

The Precise Bite with tongue depressor assists in tongue displacement and encourages an open airway. Softens in warm water and comfortably conforms to the patient’s dental contours Precise Bite docking plate simply snaps on top to secure the bite to the thermoplastic mask Compatible with all CIVCO thermoplastics Precise Bite Warmer softens Precise Bite without a microwave or water bath Precise Bite...
