TrueFlex Bolus

A patient-specific, soft and flexible silicone bolus for EBRT

Adaptiiv’s 3D Bolus software generates a mould, based on a bolus structure imported from the TPS, that is 3D printed using HP MJF printing technology and filled with silicone. Each TrueFlex bolus is quality assured by HP to ensure it passes minimum tolerance criteria required to provide optimal treatment.

TrueFlex bolus can be ordered through Adaptiiv On Demand using either the Simple Bolus or Modulated Electron Bolus software modules.
