IntraOp Mobetron for Cancer therapy

New mobile technology to deliver radiotherapy to patients while they are undergoing cancer surgery...portable and can be moved from one OR to another...BD

Intraoperative radiation therapy is widely considered to have great potential for cancer treatment. However, until the advent of the Mobetron, the complex logistics involved with delivering IORT severely restricted its use. Before the Mobetron, most IORT patients were transferred from the operating room, while under anesthesia and with an open wound, to the radiation therapy department to receive their IORT treatment. After the treatment, they were returned to the operating room for the  completion of the surgery. This method is inefficient for both the surgery and radiation departments. It also increases the time of the procedure and the time the patient must be under anesthesia, and it has a higher risk for infection since the patient is transported out of a sterile environment for the IORT treatment.

IntraOp's Mobetron is available in leading institutions in the United States including University of California San Francisco, University of North Carolina, University Hospital Cleveland, Mayo Clinic Phoenix, Ohio State University, Clarion Methodist Hospital Indianapolis, St. Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis, University of Louisville and St. Joseph's Hospital in Orange, CA.
