HP PRO Solution

HP PRO Solution is the ideal solution for treating brain, head & neck and spinal tumours with proton therapy. The base plate with its narrow head and neck section allows the gantry to come close to the patient and minimize the air gap. A patient is immobilized with a thermoplastic mask that attaches to the base plate with a patented locking mechanism.

During the design process of HP PRO, we put a heavy focus on developing a locking mechanism that is safe and easy to use. Users of existing systems stated that they were not pleased with the way masks are attached to other types of boards that are already in the market.

The HP PRO profile clicks on the base plates in two steps. First, you slide the caudal part of the profile over the pin in the base plate. Then, you swivel the profile inwards until it clicks into the base plate. This locks the mask securely on to the board.

The profile is designed so that it does not have any sharp corners or edges. This allows the beam to go through the material if necessary.

Paediatric immobilization devices

Proton therapy is a very suitable treatment technique for paediatric patients. That is why we have a complete paediatric product line of the HP PRO Solution. There is a product range for patients between 0 and 7 years old with a base plate and masks and a product range for patients between 8 and 16 years old.

MRI Compatible Immobilization Devices

All the adult and paediatric base plates and accessories are available in an MRI compatible version. This allows you to perform an MRI scan of the patient in the treatment position.

Extracranial Immobilization

A thermoplastic abdomen-pelvic mask allows immobilising a patient for extracranial proton treatments. The mask is attached to the base plate with push-pins. It is made of the Orfit Efficast thermoplastic material, which is used in all our photon therapy masks for extracranial applications.

The mask can be combined with a vacuum bag underneath the patient for additional reproducibility of the position, as well as for comfort and stability.

Photon Therapy

The complete HP PRO product range can also be used for photon therapy. We have a wide range of extensions and overlays available for different treatment couches.

Thermoplastic Masks

For the masks, we use Nanor, a thermoplastic material based on nanotechnology. The nanoparticles assure that the mask is stable enough, although it is thin. This mask immobilises the patient in a reproducible way and also offers the necessary comfort to the patient.

A personalised head support can be created with a Moldcare cushion. The cushion is attached to a head support indexing plate in order to create a reproducible set-up on a daily basis.

For all thermoplastic masks, go to High Precision immobilization systems.
