Patient positioning foam mould kit (A collection of devices designed to facilitate the delivery of a self-hardening foam that is either poured or injected into a bag or container placed around a patient. After hardening, the foam and the bag/container form a patient-specific (custom-made) mould of that anatomy. The mould can be whole body or only selected body parts and are commonly used to help ensure adequate positioning and immobilization of the patient during radiation therapy treatments and to facilitate reproducible positioning for serial treatments.)
