kVue™ Access 360™ Prone Breast Couchtop Insert


kVue™ Access 360™ Prone Breast Couchtop Insert
Due to its potential to significantly reduce dose to heart and lung, prone breast treatment is becoming an important option in the battle against breast cancer. Growing evidence suggests that, for many women, it may haveconsiderable advantages over the supine position.


kVue™ Access 360™ Prone Breast Couchtop Insert
Special knee alignment marks aid in accurate and replicable positioning. The insert slides directly onto the kVue couchtop and quickly locks into place. Once the patient is in place, the couchtop’s patient friendly design cradles the body with a memory foam layer that provides a soft, comfortablecushion.


kVue™ Access 360™ Prone Breast Couchtop Insert
The simple, elegant, cantilever design provides both oblique and non-coplanar access, potentially enabling higher dose per fraction.

Since the beams path is primarily though the breast with minimal couchtop interference, • attenuation • artifact • scattering may be minimized.
Images are clear and easy to interpret.
