Fraxion™
“Fraxion integrates well into our Elekta environment,” says Glyn Shentall, Head of Radiotherapy Physics at the Royal Preston Hospital. “The head frame is a non-invasive, well-tolerated system that provides high intra-fraction immobilization accuracy. Patient setup for treatment is straightforward and radiographer confidence in the system is high.” Fraxion head fixation can be used for virtually any patient. The patient can be immobilized with a thermoplastic mask, with the vacuum mouthpiece, or even a combination of both systems. Precise repositioning is possible as the system is directly connected to the treatment table and micro adjustments are possible via easily accessible screws for full 6D patient positioning.
Patient-Specific Cranial Immobilization
Accuracy in patient positioning is a must to deliver safe and effective cranial radiation therapy. The key is having a single solution for immobilization that allows you to choose the technique best suited for your patient. Elekta’s Fraxion is the first to introduce an innovative solution that brings all the proven immobilization options into one single solution. This allows immobilization to be tailored to patients’ needs using one system, providing individual assurance.
Fraxion is a true step forward in the design of head frames for use in stereotactic radiation therapy. Based on the success of Elekta SRT frames, Leksell® Coordinate Frame G and the newest design of Extend™ System for Leksell Gamma Knife® Perfexion™, Fraxion builds on 60 years of clinical experience. This includes a unique vacuum-activated head frame system specifically designed to overcome the drawbacks of conventional invasive fixation.
