What is it indicated for?
The Cura Compensator is a solid, machine-shaped acrylic block intended to attenuate external radiation beam and block radiation from hitting critical structures and healthy tissue while allowing the radiation dose to the targeted area. The Cura Compensator may be used as an accessory whenever external beam radiation therapy is indicated for the treatment of patients with localized tumors or other conditions susceptible to treatment by radiation.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
