The BinkieRT is intended to be used for repeat positioning and immobilization of a patient's tongue and jaw while undergoing or receiving a course of external beam radiation therapy for treatment of cancer and other diseases. It is intended to be used by or under the direction of a licensed physician. BinkieRT is meant for use with 6 MV photon beams only.

It is a patient-specific medical device that is mounted in the oral cavity of the patient to fix the temporomandibular joint in the treatment of head and neck radiation, and the planned dose is accurately delivered to the target area, and the tongue is moved in one direction to be spaced apart to minimize the exposure of normal tissue to the surrounding area. The device consists of a Jaw Positioner (Impression, Maxiila, Mandibula), a Tongue Positioner (Head, Paddle), and a Column (Rotation Guide).
