Pediatric Immobilization Masks
Smaller mask sizes and sticker kits to help ease anxiety for children undergoing treatment and potentially reduce the need for anesthesia. Helping you go the extra mile to support your younger patients means everything to us
Pediatric Immobilization Masks
The full range of products for pediatric patients contains base plates, head supports, and thermoplastic masks and can be used for patients up to 12 years old.
We suggest using the small masks for patients between 0 and 5 years old and the medium masks for patients from 6 to 12 years old. Based on the anatomy of the patient, a larger or smaller mask might be needed.
Key Features:
Superior Molding Properties
- Thermoplastics with superior molding properties provide the perfect balance of precision and comfort in patient immobilization.
High Stability
- The highly stable mask prevents chin-drop and shoulder rotation for increased patient stability.
Memory Effect
- The memory effect allows the therapy team to remold a finished mask as needed, providing significant flexibility for modification during a patient’s treatment or simply to save on waste.
Thinner Masks
- Thinner masks result in less absorption and increased skin sparing.
Quick Release System
- The quick release system allows for fast and safe removal of the mask from the patient, so patients can complete treatment faster with a more comfortable experience.
Low activation temperature (65°C – 149°F)
- No risk of skin burning for the user.
- Can be moulded directly on the patient.
- Does not become too soft or stretchy when overheated.
- Can be activated in hot water or oven.
- No special equipment necessary.

Pediatric Patient Positioning Solutions
Patient positioning in radiation therapy is a critical aspect of the treatment process, demanding the utmost precision, accuracy, and reproducibility. Accurate positioning ensures that the radiation is delivered precisely to the targeted tumor with minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, reducing potential side effects and increasing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Reproducibility is equally vital, as it ensures that the patient is positioned consistently in the same manner for each treatment session, which is essential for the cumulative dose to reach its intended effect without deviation. Precision in patient positioning not only enhances the treatment’s impact but also bolsters the patient’s confidence in the therapy’s safety and effectiveness. Together, these factors contribute significantly to the overall success and efficiency of radiation therapy.
