Alpha Cradle® Mold Maker II
ACMII
BOARD & 23 Dividers Allows you to EASILY CREATE customized anatomical devices for radiation therapy patients. The ACMMII is a 24”x 34” slotted board that comes with 23 assorted dividers to create customized body devices. You can use the ACMMII to make any type of anatomical device on any size patient, young or old, in the prone or supine position.
Making Customized forms on Your Treatment Device is Easy!
To create a customized Alpha Cradle® mold using your own treatment device, place the bag of foam on a base piece with a high (R) value (such as a piece of Styrofoam®, cardboard, or wood). By creating your foam filled bag on this type of a base, it will allow you to have a thick, creamy filled bag of foam to pick up and place on top of the treatment device.
Open the bag, shake the mixed foam with the cap pointed down, pour all of the foam into the bag, and collapse the bottle. ONLY Alpha CRADLE® brand bottles collapse, allowing you to use all of the hang-up in the bottle. Push the air out of the bag, and fold the open end underneath the bag. Smooth the foam evenly. Next, please your patient on the bag and push them deeply into the warm, rising foam for a truly safe and secure customized fit!
Our bottle of polyol expands, allowing you to add the papi and shake to mix the foam thoroughly. Then our bottles collapse, ensuring you can use every bit of hang up possible.
Only Alpha Cradle® AC325 and AC250 foams offer collapsible bottles so you can use all of the foam in the bottle. Our proprietary foam makes a form that’s soft and comfortable for the patient to lay on, yet rigid and solid enough to duplicate the set-up position throughout the entire treatment plan.
Notice the deep impressions made from our AC325 foam. When you place your patient back into this form, they can wiggle into position and be exactly where they were when simulated.
