Problem
Standard medical imaging and treatment tables often require patients to conform to the table's shape, leading to discomfort, reduced precision, and workflow inefficiencies, particularly in cancer treatment. This can compromise treatment accuracy and reproducibility, especially in sensitive procedures like breast cancer radiotherapy.
Solution
HeroSupport provides personalized patient-positioning solutions by transforming standard imaging and treatment tables into customized supports. Their flagship product, the VENUS Shell™, is a patient-specific, 3D-printed immobilization device designed for breast cancer radiotherapy, ensuring the table adapts to each patient's unique anatomy. This approach enhances treatment precision, reduces complexity, improves reproducibility, saves time, and increases patient comfort. HeroSupport's solutions aim to improve safety, cost-efficiency, and effectiveness of cancer treatments, while also streamlining clinical workflows.
