The Belly Board is used to allow the intestinal tract to drop out of the treatment field. Treatment through the foam material has a low absorption of the beam. This unit is made of lightweight, non-breakable high density foam and is coated with a durable blue finish for easy cleaning. The lightweight allows for easy handling of the Belly Board. The soft flexible surface allows for patient comfort and retains excellent body positioning. The bottom surface is anti-skid on treatment and simulator couches. The Belly Board includes one opening reducer.
When the EXACT Enhance Bar is attached to the Belly Board with the Glue Dots, the belly board can then be attached to the Lock-Bar or a similar bar. This will allow positioning the belly board in the same position daily.
Cleaning Instructions: Soap and Water, Alcohol, and Bleach can be used.
