Klarity Cushions™
Klarity Cushions™ are advanced indexing tools that provide secure, customized head and neck support for patients.
These cushions are made from low-density thermoplastic-based materials that become soft and pliable when heated in an oven or water bath. After heating, Klarity Cushions™ offer warm and comforting support that has a calming effect on most patients.
Once cool, Klarity Cushions™ become firm and rigid, ensuring excellent reproducibility and precise placement for highly accurate treatment. Klarity Cushions™ can be used with Silverman headrests, and they also fit under a thermoplastic mask to create 360-degree custom support and immobilization.
The inner cushion contains a proprietary mix of high-quality, lightweight polystyrene surrounded by a thin layer of thermoplastic. The soft and stretchable outer covering is made of simple nylon fabric.
All Klarity Cushions™ are 100% nontoxic, with minimal shrinkage and no odor. Klarity Cushions™ are one-per-patient, but they can be reheated and reformed if needed.

Klarity Shell® System
The Klarity Shell® System is a high precision method for positioning and immobilization of head and neck patients during Radiotherapy treatments. An acrylic shell is used to hold a moldable Klarity Cushion™ around the posterior side of the patient’s head. After the cushion cools, the shell is removed, and a thermoplastic mask is formed over the patient.
This method holds all sides of the head comfortable and provides significantly increased support, stability, and repositioning accuracy.
Klarity Cushions™ for the Shell System are available in a variety of sizes.
