The Aerial Couch Top for Proton Therapy

Aerial is a revolutionary proton couch top that optimizes the impact of the proton dose. The couch top floats on air without rails or other obstructions underneath, which creates a homogeneous treatment area. The Aerial Couch Top combines ergonomic handling, patient comfort, and dosimetric performance—empowering clinicians to deliver safe, efficient, and accurate treatments every day.

Combined with our HP PRO nanor masks we bring more comfort to the patient while safeguarding stability and reproducibility. 

Premium Choice of Materials

The right material selection augments the product’s durability, increases the load carrying capacity and reduces overall weight of the couch top.

  • Premium Carbon Fiber 

    By selecting a carbon fiber with a very high bending stiffness, we are able to produce a light and rigid structure that supports high loads.

  • Uniform Low-Density Foam Core

    The secret behind the lower final part weight is a fine cell structure foam in combination with optimal fiber and resin addition

Key
Benefits

  • Homogeneous over the entire treatment area
  • No rails or other parts underneath the extension that obstruct the beam
  • Radiolucent
  • Multiple indexing points for easy positioning reproducibility
  • Precise patient immobilization
  • Safe locking mechanism and ease-of-use

Couch Top Extensions

The Aerial Couch Top consists of a base and a variety of extensions, which are available in different lengths—including specialized extensions designed for pediatric patients.

Rectangular extensions are available for extracranial treatments. HP PRO extensions are designed specifically for cranial treatments and are compatible with our HP PRO nanor masks.

Our aim is to design and manufacture with zero compromise. To achieve that, we spent an extensive period of time on speaking with physicists and therapists, and by prototyping, testing, and analyzing. When starting this project, we made sure to create a device that is in line with the highest technical standards, without being overly complex, so that it helps in assuring the best possible clinical outcome for patients. The combination of technology and human factors is the sweet spot of a truly successful design.
