MAUMEE, Ohio – The SecureVac Immobilization System has been an effective, reusable and durable way for radiation therapists to achieve repeatable positioning of patients undergoing radiation therapy. But its use does not just end there. The device is certified as MR conditional*.
The SecureVac, a rigid immobilization solution designed to be reusable for multi-patient treatment, offers optimal patient comfort and reliable, consistent setups. The therapy cushions are created to externally support and immobilize patients who require repeatability and reproducibility while undergoing external beam radiation therapy.
“We understand how important it is for radiation therapists to successfully position patients the same way for every treatment, which is why SecureVac was developed at Bionix,” states Chris Becker, President and CEO, Bionix, LLC. “Our goal is to create innovative solutions to make processes and procedures easier for healthcare providers. Once a product is completed, we don’t just stop there, we listen to customer feedback and continue to brainstorm to produce innovative ideas that make our existing products even better.”
As technology in the linear accelerator arena advances, Bionix wanted to ensure its customers had confidence in using its SecureVac products in MRI environments. “We invested the time and resources in testing and are incredibly pleased to announce that Bionix SecureVac products are MR Conditional up to 3T,” Becker adds.
With this news, radiation therapists can be assured that the SecureVac can be used with MRLinacs*, which have shown to have huge benefits in the treatment of cancer. According to the Providence Cancer Institute, MRLinacs reduce the side effects of radiation therapy because the planning is adaptive. New planning is created every day, allowing critical structures, tissue and the movement of tumors to be monitored during treatment.
