Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a flange and an inner cup mounting bracket, in particular to a flange and an inner cup mounting bracket suitable for a radiotherapy system, belonging to the technical field of radiotherapy. Background Art

[0002] Radiation therapy is one of the important treatments for breast cancer. Existing radiotherapy methods for breast cancer mainly focus on whole-breast radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery. GammaPod is a new type of breast tumor radiotherapy system that mainly provides partial breast radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery, offering breast cancer patients the possibility of non-invasive and lossless treatment. In order to accurately deliver higher doses to tumor tissue in the breast in a short period of time, Gammapod uses a vacuum-assisted bra to fix the breast throughout the imaging and treatment process. When in use, the inner and outer breast cups are connected together by a silicone flange. The silicone flange adheres to the chest and applies gentle vacuum pressure to keep the breast close to the inner cup, minimizing movement and pulling the breast tissue away from the chest wall. This ensures accurate dose delivery while maximally protecting the normal tissue behind the breast.

[0003] However, the current method of assembling the inner cup and the silicone flange is to first pry open the inner edge cut of the flange, and then insert the edge of the inner cup into the inner edge cut of the flange little by little until the edge of the inner cup is completely wrapped by the flange. If the force is not appropriate, the edge of the inner cup that has been inserted into the flange will slip out of the cut, resulting in the need for repeated operations; secondly, in the process of inserting the inner cup into the flange, the single-gloss release paper covering the adhesive surface of the flange is very easy to fall off due to the force, causing the adhesive surfaces of the flange to stick to each other, and need to be carefully torn off little by little, affecting use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a flange and an inner cup mounting bracket suitable for a radiotherapy system, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the inner cup and the flange without affecting the breast positioning function, reducing the user's operating difficulty, and improving the user experience.

[0005] The utility model achieves the above-mentioned object through the following technical solutions, which are suitable for a flange and an inner cup mounting bracket of a radiotherapy system, including a flange, a mounting structure installed on the flange, the mounting structure including a cutout, a cutout is provided on the inner wall of the flange, the cutout is an open embedded structure, an inner cup is embedded in the cutout, a groove is provided on the outer wall of the flange, the groove is engaged with the bracket, and the adhesive surface of the flange is covered with a protective film, which is a mesh non-stick film made of PVC material.

[0006] Preferably, the flange is made of silicone material, and the cross section of the flange is an "L"-shaped structure.

[0007] Preferably, the inner cup is semicircular in structure and is provided with a plurality of through holes.

[0008] Preferably, the bracket is in a cylindrical structure as a whole, and the top cross-section of the bracket is in an "L"-shaped structure.
