Orbital Therapy has completed recent ClearVue^TM prone breast table installations at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, Newton Wellesley Hospital in Newton, and Emerson Hospital in Concord, Massachusetts.

ClearVue^TM offers a number of advantages over other commercially available prone position tables.  Our unique, patent-pending open design provides visual and treatment access to the breast, allowing the physician to plan and treat from multiple angles.   The newly released Laser Alignment System provides an additional point of reference to better re-position the breast and increase targeting accuracy.

Orbital Therapy’s all carbon fiber ClearVue^TM  prone position table addresses current and future requirements to deliver this emerging therapy technique.  Placing the patient in the prone position reduces target motion, increases the separation between the target anatomy and critical structures such as lung and heart, and allows for better localization of the treatment area.  

“The use of prone breast radiotherapy is clearly on the rise.  The advantages are clear over the traditional supine position for treating the breast.   Studies demonstrate that more than 90% of the women can benefit from being treated in the prone position.  With proper equipment and increased patient comfort, there is really no reason why this technique should not be used as standard in all radiotherapy facilities.”, said Jason Koshnitsky, CEO of Orbital Therapy.

Orbital Therapy LLC, located in Bedford, MA, was founded in 2006 to develop products for the treatment of breast cancer. Our integrated approach to the treatment of this particular disease will offer innovative improvements to currently used techniques and provide many benefits to the patient as well as the care provider.
