A positioning groove is penetrated through the top of the slider 3, and a positioning pin 19 is clamped in the positioning groove. An extrusion rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the elastic cover 8, a pushing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the extrusion rod 12 away from the elastic cover 8, a through groove is opened on the surface of the pushing plate 15, and elastic cords 16 are fixedly connected to both sides of the through groove. The patient lies on the back plate 1, and the band 17 restricts the patient's abdomen, reducing the amplitude of the abdomen expanding and shrinking during radiotherapy. After adjusting the position of the slider 3 on the positioning rod 2, rotate the rotating rod 18, rotate the protective cover 7 to the side of the non-diseased breast, put the nipple into the elastic cord 16, and use the pushing plate 15 to extrude the non-diseased breast outward.
