BolusCare® – Customizable Bolus for Radiation Therapy

Flexible. Patient-specific. Ready when you need it.

Not Cleared By FDA Not For Sale in the U.S.

BolusCare® is an innovative polymer-based bolus material developed for modern radiation therapy workflows. Its two-component design can be shaped directly to the patient’s anatomy, helping clinical teams create a customized bolus without the need for 3D printing, dedicated software, or complex pre-forming.

Designed for CT-based treatment planning and efficient clinical use, BolusCare offers a practical approach for situations where close surface conformity and individualized shaping are important.

WHY BOLUSCARE?

A Simple Approach to Patient-Specific Bolus Shaping

Traditional radiation therapy bolus solutions in clinical environments vary in preparation time, fixed thickness, workflow complexity, and equipment requirements. BolusCare is designed to provide a flexible alternative that can be shaped directly to the patient.

Two-Component System

The material can be individually shaped to conform to the patient’s anatomy.

Direct application

BolusCare can be formed directly at the patient surface without a separate pre-shaping process.

No 3D printer required

No dedicated printer, specialized bolus-design software, or printing workflow is required.

CT planning compatible

The manufacturer describes BolusCare as suitable for integration into CT-based planning, with an approximate CT value of 1,200 HU.

Designed to minimize air gaps

Patient-specific shaping is intended to support close surface contact in challenging anatomical areas.

SGRT visibility

The manufacturer identifies the material as visible for surface-guided radiation therapy workflows.

HOW IT FITS INTO THE WORKFLOW

From Patient-Specific Shaping to Treatment

01

Prepare

Combine the two BolusCare components according to the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use.

02

Shape

Form the material directly to the required patient anatomy.

03

Plan

Incorporate the shaped bolus into the applicable imaging and treatment-planning workflow.

04

Reuse

Once formed for the patient, the bolus can be used reproducibly across subsequent treatment fractions according to the Instructions for Use and clinical protocol.

Boluscare Vs Other Workflow Options

Different bolus approaches may be appropriate depending on the patient, treatment plan, clinical protocol, and available resources. BolusCare is designed to offer a practical middle ground between conventional preformed materials and fully customized 3D-printed workflows.
