The BreastSTEP enables easy positioning, precise repositioning and high comfort of the patient during breast and thorax treatment. With its excellent robustness and quality, this patient friendly and non-invasive immobilization system is a device, designed to improve the accuracy of radiation therapy for supine techniques. The system allows comfortable positioning of the arms above the head and natural position of the upper and lower arm. The BreastSTEP consists of a baseplate and an upper plate made of a low density foam core, covered with thin layers of carbon fibre which allows the beam to pass through the BreastSTEP from any angle with minimal attenuation. Further components of the BreastSTEP are the aperture for placing head supports, the Slide Stop and the adjustable arm and wrist supports, which allow for very easy customization of patient positioning. The BreastSTEP can be adjusted to 4 different upper heights, 18 upper arm and 8 lower arm positions, which comfortably positions and support the arms above the head. The BreastSTEP can be used on all brands of couches available on the market, in diagnostic and radiotherapy environment.
