Unlock Smarter Positioning: Integrated Shim™ Thermoplastic Masks

Wednesday, October 15, 2025
1600 UCT | 12 PM EDT | 9 AM PDT

Backed by over a decade of clinical use, the Integrated Shim System has been reengineered to set a new standard in immobilization for SRS, photon, and proton treatments.

With independent height adjustment at each pin, precise 0.5 mm increments (up to 4 mm), and effortless rotation-based adjustments, this innovative thermoplastic mask system streamlines workflow, eliminates loose parts, and delivers instant setup feedback—making positioning more accurate, efficient, and patient-friendly.
 
 What you’ll learn in the session:
•    Identify the causes and consequences of improperly fitting masks.  
•    How the Integrated Shim uniquely adjusts for an improved mask fit.
•    Streamline clinical workflows by accommodating potential anatomical changes to patient
•    Improve patient compliance through increased comfort.
•    Ways the Integrated Shim can save both time and costs for a department

Solution Spotlights are concise sessions designed to address specific clinical challenges; however, they are not eligible for CE credit.
