U-Frame Immobilization Masks
Superior patient immobilization with U-Plast thermoplastic masks
The benefit of the UON line of U-Frame immobilization masks is that the unique thermoplastic material provides superior bending capabilities with low shrinkage and a water-based, non-stick coating. UON masks are also available as an open face mask to fit almost any U-frame base plate in your department.
U-Frame Immobilization Masks
The UON U-shaped head and neck mask by Orfit Radiation Oncology combine the unique features of U-Plast thermoplastic material with a newly designed U-shaped frame that is stronger with an improved bending stiffness. This leads to a more sturdy mask.
Key Features:
Non-Stick Coating
Each mask is also treated with a unique water-based, non-stick coating, which ensures a much more comfortable patient experience.
- For easy handling of the fixation mask during the moulding of the mask.
- No risk of accidental bonding to the heating equipment or itself.

U-Frame 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.
