The RT Bolus Material is an ivory-colored thermoplastic bolus, designed for single patient use in radiotherapy. It provides excellent conformity and stability throughout the entire course of treatment.
When placed in hot water at 60°C, the material softens and can be molded to nearly any body surface without creating air pockets. Once cooled, it retains the desired shape, ensuring better reproducibility of dose distribution across all treatment sessions.
