Adjustable Holder and Slessinger Compatible Base for Dilators with Stem Scale
The Adjustable Holder and Slessinger Base for Dilators with Stem Scale was designed to be used when treating anal cancer in females with chemoradiation. The dilator is used to delineate and displace the vulva and lower vagina away from the primary tumor with the intention of decreasing dose to these areas.
The vertical post scale on the holder ranges from 4.5cm to 16cm and allows for reproducing from day to day the vertical position of the dilator. The dilator can also be angled up or down in the anterior - posterior position with a scale marked every 5° to 45° and a locking thumb screw. All dilators are 6.5" (16.5cm) long, not including the stem. The dilators have a scale on the stem that ranges form 1cm to 7cm which is used for depth.
The holder base included is made from HDPE Blue Polyethylene Colorboard and has a 6” titanium rail. A rail block allows the dilator holder to slide forward and backward when positioning as well as being removable from the rail itself. This item is compatible with the Slessinger Board System (Item # 946-004).
Item 946-210 includes only the Holder and base.
