LEX-Ultra™
MacroMedics® introduces the LEX-Ultra™, a user friendly solution that provides support in positioning and immobilization of the lower extremities. The LEX-Ultra is designed to create unobstructed radiation beam access in the region of interest (R.O.I.) and gives the option for reproducible positioning of the unaffected extremity during treatment to avoid damage to the healthy tissue.
The system consists of a light weight baseplate with integrated individual leg supports and an optional middle block. The low density baseplate in combination with carbon fiber elements in the lower leg region provides an adjustable, flexible and easy to use support and creates optimal positioning to target the tumor area.
The LEX-Ultra leg supports can be adjusted in 7 indexed positions and have multiple integrated fixation points to attach individual thermoplastic masks for both leg and abdominal area.
The optional detachable middle block assists in positioning and fixation of the upper leg region and lower abdominal area. The LEX-Ultra positioning system is designed with respect to accuracy, reproducibility and flexibility in patient set-up.
