Accurate Day-to-Day Reproducibility of Setups During Radiation Treatment
Precut clear adhesive covers provide a watertight seal and stay securely in place for up to 4 weeks
Temporary marks are an important part of CT-Simulation when permanent tattooing is not a viable option for the patient to ensure accurate and reproducible setups for treatment.
However, temporary marks are only helpful when they stay on throughout the course of treatment. Unprotected marks can fade and wash off resulting in the patient being re-simulated before continuing treatment.
PointGuards are the fast and convenient way to protect a patient's temporary marks from disappearing during the course of treatment. Less irritating to skin than surgical tape, pre-cut PointGuards provide a watertight seal that stays securely in place for up to 4 weeks.
- Choose PointGuards circular covers for smaller treatment marks
- Choose PointGuards linear adhesive covers for longer, more linear treatment marks
- Choose PointGuards crosshair for hard to find treatment marks
We can reduce the times that we are re-simulating patients
"If we can reduce the times that we are re-simulating patients due to either lost marks, or even the surgical tape coming off and really having to re-identify those markings to ensure accuracy, I feel that in itself is a really high cost savings to the department."
Phyllis Burch, Administrative Director, City of Hope Radiation Oncology, Duarte, CA
They feel like part of my skin
"I do my normal routine. I shower, go out, take my walks, sweat in the sun, and I don't even know they're there. They feel like part of my skin."

Protect your patients' treatment set-up marks and their skin
"When we used transparent dressing, we noticed many patients experiencing skin reactions. With PointGuards there are much less, we have not noticed any difference in the patient’s skin, especially during the hotter months.
We love PointGuards. Without tools like this to help our patients, it would make their treatment a lot tougher."
