Flex of the Week #25: Inside Look at A custom silicone bolus along with a brass skin collimator
Check out this week’s Flex of the Week which features a FlexiBol custom silicone bolus along with a brass skin collimator. The custom FlexiBol acts as a bolus for the radiation while the skin collimator serves as shielding to vital structures – such as the eyes. When combined together, the bolus and collimator allow this clinic to achieve optimal dose to target, without unwanted dose to surrounding tissues.

Flex of the Week #24: Inside Look at A Custom Breast
Check out this week’s Flex of the Week which features a bilateral Breast bolus. With FlexiBol we commonly receive requests for Breast and chest bolus, as the curvature and the use of DIBH (Deep inspiration breath-hold) can make this anatomy difficult to bolus using generic materials.
Flex of the Week #23: Inside Look at A Custom Ear
Check out this week’s Flex of the Week which features a FlexiBol of an ear. A notoriously difficult area to bolus using sheets or thermoplastics, ears are a perfect match for a flexible silicone bolus!
Generic Electron Kits
Many know us as a provider of custom copper electron cutouts, but did you also know we offer generic cutout kits as well? For centers with a steady electron volume, building a standard library of generic shapes can be crucial for patients requiring same-day treatment and have cost-saving potential. Our generic kits are customizable and reusable, allowing you to build a kit that fits your clinic’s exact needs.

Shine A Light: The History, Mystery, and Opportunity of GRID Therapy
If you work in radiation oncology, the story of spatially-fractionated GRID therapy is perhaps the best story you’ve never heard.
It is a story of history and science, of mystery and opportunity. But perhaps most of all, it is a story of family. A son and his father, yes, but also of a larger family: the family of the people we work with, and learn from, and sometimes, teach. And a family larger still, the family of people we ultimately work for: those in need of help, those in need of hope, those who in times of darkness just need someone to shine a light.
We hope you take the time to enjoy this documentary and share it with your friends and colleagues. And we hope that, like us, you are inspired.
