Klarity Bolus™ is a tissue equivalent bolus material and is sufficiently flexible to conform to the patient’s surface. It is translucent, making it ideal for viewing the treatment area or lesions underneath.
Klarity Bolus™ features a slightly tacky surface for excellent conformity. It can be cut with scissors to any desired shape and can be layered as needed to increase thickness. It is made of a silicone gel that incorporates a thin polyester mesh netting to provide dimensional stability.
Klarity Bolus™ is indicated for radiation therapy clinical treatments as a tissue equivalent aid to correct for anatomical irregularities and deliver a prescribed dose to the skin and underlying tissue. Target population is Adult, Child and Infant, and Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by, or on the order of a physician.
Klarity Bolus™ has been tested for tissue equivalency at 6 MV and 10 MV photon and at 6 MeV and 12 MeV electron energy levels. Further testing will be required to confirm performance with proton therapy systems. It is available in multiple thicknesses, listed below.
