The AccuFix Tilting Radiotranslucent Headholder is designed to be used with a head rest or prone pillow and Aquaplast RT Thermoplastic (K 935067) masks to immobilize and reposition patients undergoing radiation therapy on a linear accelerator treatment table. The AccuFix Headholder attaches to the treatment table, a Silverman brand head rest (for supine treatment) or prone pillow (for prone treatment) is attached to the Headholder and a custom fit mask attaches to the Headholder in such a way that patient head movement is minimized and the patient's head can be accurately repositioned for subsequent treatment sessions.
