Chosen by leading clinicians and specialists around the world, Xstrahl radiotherapy systems are designed for the treatment of skin cancer, dermatological disorders, certain types of benign disease and some palliative care.

Superficial radiotherapy is particularly useful for treating some types of skin cancer and is often preferable to surgery and can deliver excellent outcomes, including pain management for numerous conditions.   

Thanks to its leading design, treatment using the Xstrahl 100 provides an all-round positive experience for every patient. The flexibility of the unit means that the treatment is less stressful from the outset and thanks to its unique design the treatment is pain-free. The low energy means pinpoint accuracy, so healthy skin isn’t affected. The fast treatment means a large reduction in time and impact on the patient’s day-to-day life, whilst providing a highly effective treatment for superficial skin conditions.

The unit’s small footprint enables installation in a compact space, and its mobility makes for better use of space within the treatment room. Its low energy and short exposure times means the treatment room requires less shielding compared to a high energy linear accelerator.

The range of movement in the treatment arm enables smooth adjustment and easy set up for each treatment field. Its flexibility makes it particularly suited for treating multiple lesions that are difficult to access, such as the head and neck, without changing patient positioning.

The Xstrahl radiotherapy systems help us to respond to the growing treatment demand for radiation and we treat these patients on an outpatient basis, helping us to reduce surgical and hospitalisation costs. The Xstrahl technology is easy to use and helps to deliver safe and effective radiotherapy to our animal patients.

Currently, there is a significant shortfall of access to and investment in radiotherapy treatments for pets in the UK. The rising cancer incidence is driving an increased demand for radiotherapy, which is a highly cost effective and clinically effective cancer treatment. Additional options are required to meet this increased need.

Ever-increasing demand for radiotherapy services. In cancer alone, a rising incidence of the disease, rapidly evolving therapies and new indications for treatment, are all driving demand. Xstrahl superficial and orthovoltage radiation therapy systems can help improve treatment availability, the level of care, and range of treatment options for patients quickly, simply and affordably.

Patient safety is our priority. All Xstrahl medical systems have CE, FDA and Health Canada Clearance and are certified to ISO 13485

Superficial (low energy x-rays <100Kv) radiation therapy (SRT) has been available for decades.

SRT often is a superior form of external beam radiation therapy in its ability to minimise normal tissue exposure to radiation.

SRT often provides a quicker, easier, cheaper, and non-invasive alternative for superficial tumours, especially in geriatric patients where surgery is not always an option.

Makes radiation therapy more easily available, and for a large number of cases, it will provide a more viable option for clients, who often decide against radiotherapy, purely due to cost, time and distance consideration, to the nearest radiotherapy centres.
