 These bolus sheets are made from a solid, homogeneous, tissue-equivalent gel with a density of 1.03g/cc. It will not sag, deform or run.
Bolx-I is encased in a tough layer of thin plastic “skin”. Bolx-II is “skinless” for greater conformity to steep body contours.
Both types of bolus sheets are closely controlled for uniformity of thickness, electron density, and homogeneity. Bolx sheets can be cut with a scissors to any desired shape, and layered to obtain the desired bolus effect.
Bolx is the ideal choice for radiation therapy applications above 1 MV, where additional tissue-equivalent thickness is required. It can also be used as a phantom material due to its homogeneous composition and uniform thickness. Bolx bolus is very cost-effective when compared to other types of tissue-equivalent phantom materials.
Bolx-I is available in convenient sizes of 15cm x 15cm and 30cm x 30cm, and in thicknesses from .5cm to 4.0cm. Bolx-II is available in 30cm x 30cm sheets only.
