Precision-focused patient support for modern radiotherapy workflows
HeroSupport develops personalised radiotherapy positioning and immobilisation solutions for breast cancer treatment workflows. The company combines 3D printing, surface-scanning technology, and ergonomic patient support systems to improve positioning reproducibility and patient comfort during radiotherapy procedures.
Based in Geneva, Switzerland, HeroSupport focuses on patient-specific immobilisation devices and imaging platforms designed for prone breast radiotherapy applications. The company’s technology supports precise patient positioning while helping radiation oncology teams streamline clinical workflows.
PEO Medical supports healthcare institutions with advanced medical technologies that improve workflow efficiency, reproducibility, and patient-centred care.
HeroSupport Technologies
VENUS Shell™
VENUS Shell™ is a patient-specific 3D-printed immobilisation device designed for breast cancer radiotherapy. The device is produced from an individual patient anatomical model using surface-scanning and additive manufacturing technologies.
The system is designed for prone positioning workflows, where the patient lies face down during treatment. According to HeroSupport, this positioning approach can help increase separation between the treated breast and surrounding thoracic structures.
- Patient-specific 3D-printed design
- Intended for prone breast radiotherapy
- Designed to support positioning reproducibility
- Developed to improve patient comfort during treatment
- Compatible with dedicated imaging and treatment table configurations
Imaging Table
HeroSupport also develops a patented imaging table that functions as an ergonomic platform for imaging and treatment preparation workflows.
The table is designed to adapt to patient anatomy rather than requiring the patient to adapt to a fixed positioning surface. This approach may support workflow efficiency and positioning consistency in clinical practice.
Applications
Breast Cancer Radiotherapy
HeroSupport solutions are designed specifically for breast cancer radiotherapy workflows, particularly prone treatment positioning.
Radiation Oncology Workflow Optimisation
The technology supports improved reproducibility and reduced positioning complexity for radiation oncology teams.
Patient-specific Immobilisation
The VENUS Shell™ system uses personalised anatomical modelling to create patient-specific immobilisation devices.
Why Healthcare Providers Explore Personalised Immobilisation
Radiotherapy accuracy depends on consistent and reproducible patient positioning. Personalised immobilisation technologies can support:
- Improved setup reproducibility
- More consistent patient positioning
- Workflow standardisation
- Enhanced patient comfort during treatment sessions
HeroSupport combines ergonomic support design with additive manufacturing technologies to address these clinical requirements.
