Precision You Can Prove with Integrated Shim

Upgrade the Mask. Transform the Outcomes.

Precision in radiotherapy extends beyond being an important goal—it forms the foundation for effective treatment. As treatment margins tighten and protocols advance, even the smallest setup errors can compromise patient safety and clinical efficiency. To meet these demands, clinics must look beyond standard immobilization methods. CQ Medical’s Type-S Integrated Shim thermoplastic mask represents a critical step forward in both setup accuracy and workflow optimization.

The clinical benefits are impressive. By reducing setup errors by an average of 0.7 mm laterally and 0.32 degrees in the X-axis, the Integrated Shim design definitively outperforms standard mask pin systems*. This multi-directional precision extends across the longitudinal, vertical, and X-axis planes, ensuring consistent patient alignment. Consequently, clinics rely less on 6DOF corrections, allowing for seamless integration with advanced IGRT, CBCT, and adaptive therapy protocols.

Beyond clinical accuracy, the operational impact is profound. Saving an average of 10 minutes per patient streamlines the daily workflow and directly boosts productivity. By minimizing repeat imaging and re-simulations, clinics can cut operational costs and reduce machine wear, driving a measurable return on investment.

Most importantly, this efficiency directly elevates the patient experience. Shorter setup times alleviate fear, which improves overall compliance and minimizes the need for mid-treatment repositioning—a crucial advantage during lengthy or multi-fraction sessions.

Upgrading a seemingly simple component like a mask can transform an entire clinical outcome. For healthcare administrators and clinicians focused on delivering exceptional care while maximizing operational efficiency, the Integrated Shim mask is not just an alternative; it is the new standard in patient immobilization.
