OABC BC4
The OABC is a patented medical device, which supports patients in prone crawl position. The scope of application includes partial breast, whole breast and regional lymph node radiotherapy. OABC offers the largest range of coplanar and non-coplanar open beam access on the market and is designed to combine deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) with prone position.
OABC BC5
OABC BC5 is designed for prone breast cancer treatment.
• Placing the patient on the OABC BC5 exploits gravity to increase separation of breast and regional lymph nodes from critical organs at risk. This means that radiation exposure of the heart, lung and surrounding healthy tissue may also be minimized by prone irradiation in the settings of thoracic wall + regional lymph node regions or of regional lymph nodes alone.
