Renowned as the worldwide industry standard, more Styro•formers are in use than all other shielding block mold cutters combined. Styro•former® offers accurate, easy and fast cutting with minimal training. A hand-held tracing stylus allows quick radiograph outlining to provide a smooth and efficient block cutting procedure.
Our Styro•former® Power Lift LT features panel-mounted drive controls for both source and block arm distances. A quick change wire system uses unique thumb screws and a table-mounted measuring template for quick, easy wire changes. Radiotherapy teams worldwide have come to depend on Huestis Medical for quality and cost effective radiotherapy products. The Styro•former® is FDA registered and CE certified.
