HeadSTEP™ . Information

The HeadSTEP iFRAME based immobilization system enables facile positioning, precise repositioning and high comfort in routine cranial, as well as head-neck- shoulder fixation.

The HeadSTEP system is designed for the use of the iCAST thermoplastic material including the disposable iFRAME. The iFRAME allows easy molding and symmetrical pull-down by only one therapist. The joint of the wing shaped iFRAME is one of the great advantages of the system, combining the total coverage of the anterior, lateral and superior head regions with the iFRAME locked in the shaped channels which inhibits the rotation of the head in all three axes.

The low temperature iCAST thermoplastic is available in a variety of perforation patterns. It’s rigidity, resistance to shrinkage and easy molding quality is outstanding.

The HeadSTEP system uses a 23-step elevation mechanism, which permits immobilization at variable head angles without the use of any wedges.

The HeadSTEP can be used on all brands of couches available on the market, in diagnostic and radiotherapy environment.
