Precise. Flexible. Ready to use.
BolusCare is an innovative, polymer-based bolus material designed for modern radiotherapy. Developed for maximum adaptability and ease of use, BolusCare enables more precise treatment – without the limitations of traditional solutions.
Why BolusCare?
The demands of radiotherapy are increasing: greater precision, improved reproducibility and more efficient workflows are required.
BolusCare addresses precisely these challenges.
The key benefits at a glance:
- Two-component system
- Can be custom-shaped directly on the patient
- Fits perfectly to any anatomy
- No pre-shaping or finishing required
- Quick and easy to use
- Can be applied directly to the skin
- No additional equipment required
- Significantly simplified workflow for radiographers and doctors
- SGRT visibility
- A fixed thickness is no longer required
- Integration into CT planning (~500 HU)
- Flexible customisation as required
- Greater freedom in treatment planning
- No air gaps
- Perfect contact with the skin
- Maximum reproducibility
- Greater treatment accuracy
- Various sizes available
- 30g, 80g, 150g
- Suitable for every condition
- Efficient for everyday use
A comparison with existing solutions highlights the differences:
- Thermoplastic bolus materials include:
- Cumbersome to use
- Have a rigid shape
- Risk of air gaps
- A fixed thickness is required
➜ BolusCare: flexible, personalised, reproducible
- 3D-printed bolus solutions mean:
- High initial costs
- Software and expertise required
- Time-consuming production
- Material costs
➜ BolusCare: available immediately – no printer or software required
- Designed for modern radiotherapy
- Optimised for CT-guided planning
- Suitable for superficial radiation therapy
- Ideal for reproducible patient positioning
- Future-proof for MR-guided treatment approaches
“Particularly in the field of brachytherapy, I see great potential for patient-specific and flexibly adaptable bolus solutions such as BolusCare. Modern and reproducible workflows, in particular, could benefit significantly from this in the future.”

Frequently Asked Questions
A bolus in radiation therapy is a tissue-equivalent material applied to the skin to selectively increase the radiation dose at the surface. BolusCare is an innovative, flexible bolus that adapts directly to the patient and improves treatment accuracy.
BolusCare consists of a two-component system that individually adapts to the anatomy and allows for a uniform application without air gaps. This achieves precise dose distribution.
Air gaps can distort the radiation dose and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. BolusCare minimizes this risk by adapting directly to the skin.
No. BolusCare can be integrated into CT-based planning (~500 HU), eliminating the need for a fixed thickness.
BolusCare offers no air gaps, easy application, flexible adaptation, no additional equipment, and integration into modern CT planning.
Thermoplastic boluses are rigid and time-consuming to apply. BolusCare is flexible, faster, and easier to use.
Yes. BolusCare requires no software or equipment and is ready for immediate use.
