Thorawedge™
The Thorawedge is a unique positioning device allowing the patient to incline at multiple fixed angles. The system consists of two wedges (5 and 10˚) and a comfortable arm holder. The wedges can be used separately or combined to reach a 15˚ angle. Additional 5˚ wedges can be added to form 20 and 25˚ angles. When combined, parts are integrated with positioning notches. The arms are positioned above the head for an easy fit through the CT aperture. The comfortable headrest and lumbar support can be indexed, assuring a reproducible patient position throughout the course of treatment. Large side cut-outs allow for a full range of treatment angles. The Thorawedge also creates a comfortable position during diagnostic procedures.
The Thorawedge was co-developed with the Department of Radiotherapy of the University Medical Center in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
