Bionix® Radiation Therapy exhibiting at the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) 2017
Toledo, OH – July 3, 2017: Bionix Radiation Therapy will be exhibiting at the 59th AAPM Annual Meeting and Exhibition from July 30-August 3, 2017 in Denver, Colorado.
The event takes place at the Colorado Convention Center where the medical physics community explore ideas
under the theme: “Connecting Our Pathways, Unifying our Profession”. Bionix Radiation Therapy is excited to
showcase industry leading solutions for brachytherapy at booth #4072, including the Anorectal Applicator (AR-1™)
Esophageal Applicator (E-App™) and AccuBoost® for image guided breast irradiation.
The AR-1 is a first of its kind, disposable brachytherapy applicator designed specifically for the treatment of anal and rectal cancers. The unique balloons design of the AR-1 allows exophytic tumors to press closer to the source catheter, resulting in the ability to deliver a very high dose to the tumor, while sparing healthy tissue. The AR-1 solution is a simple way to treat anal or rectal tumors in a way that cannot be achieved with external beam therapy. The E-App is a first of its kind, disposable brachytherapy applicator designed specifically for the treatment of upper GI cancers. Five independently operable balloons are designed to maintain the central position of the source catheter in both straight and curved anatomy allowing for closer proximity of the target to the source, while maintaining distance for healthy tissue. AccuBoost is a non-surgical breast conservation therapy approach that delivers a targeted dose of radiation directly to the tissue surrounding the tumor bed.

Bionix® Radiation Therapy signs exclusive U.S. Distribution agreement with AccuBoost® for image guided non-invasive breast brachytherapy (NIBB)
Toledo, OH – June 12, 2017 Bionix Radiation Therapy has recently signed an agreement to serve as the exclusive distributor of AccuBoost®. Adding to the growing portfolio of brachytherapy solutions, Bionix will market AccuBoost, a non-invasive option for breast treatment.
AccuBoost is the simple, non-invasive way to target and deliver partial breast irradiation under real-time mammography image guidance. The conformal dose of AccuBoost is delivered either for the boost portion of Whole Breast Irradiation (WBI), or as a substitute to invasive 5-day APBI procedures. AccuBoost limits unintentional exposure to healthy tissue, eliminates catheter related complications and minimizes unintentional radiation-related toxicity. AccuBoost is a reliable method, with a seamless adoption to practices, increasing the utilization of a facility’s afterloader.
“We are pleased to offer the AccuBoost solution in our portfolio, giving our customers the best tools to help fight breast cancer,” says President, David Hart. “The AccuBoost solution will help us better serve the needs of clinicians”.
