Xstrahl to host a presentation by the IORBC: An Introduction to Radiotherapy for Benign Conditions with the IORBC
Xstrahl medical director Dr. Richard Shaffer, MD, MBBS, will be available onsite at 4 PM on Sunday and Monday, Sept. 29 and 30, to provide a clinical education presentation about the clinical worldwide use of radiotherapy for the treatment of benign diseases. Dr. Shaffer is also the president and founder of the International Organisation for Radiotherapy for Benign Conditions (IORBC).
The Xstrahl 200 X-ray system delivers both superficial treatments and treatments at depth by combining the capability of orthovoltage X-ray systems with the traditional ease-of-use of superficial radiation therapy. Xstrahl 200 expands treatment options for benign indications, such as keloid scarring, Ledderhose disease, and Dupuytren’s disease, and is an excellent complement to a linear accelerator to add treatment capacity at a low cost.
Visit us to learn more about our internal eye shields – a simple yet effective solution to protect the patient’s lenses during superficial and orthovoltage radiation therapy treatments. CE marked and available in four sizes, the internal eye shields are designed to be used for applications up to and including 120kV, the typical maximum energy used to treat NMSC near the eye and its sensitive structures.
We will also showcase Radiant™ Aura, our dual modality treatment solution for dermatologists. Radiant Aura is a painless, non-surgical office-based radiation therapy treatment option for patients with non-melanoma skin cancers and keloid scarring. With advanced features for expanded clinical use, simplified patient positioning, and additional patient comfort, Radiant Aura brings radiation therapy to NMSC patients in any dermatology office.

Learn More About Eye Shields
Xstrahl is pleased to have worked with Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and the result is an affordable and effective internal eye shield for patient-specific use during radiation therapy. The eye shields are CE marked and come in four sizes. They are coated inside and out so they are smooth enough to prevent irritation to the patient’s cornea during insertion and use.
Each internal eye shield requires sterilizing prior to their first use and then after, and before each subsequent use for that patient. This simple step protects the structures and vision for each patient receiving treatment.
Orthovoltage Radiation for Benign Disease
Orthovoltage radiation therapy is an effective treatment for painful degenerative and inflammatory diseases with few side effects. Positive results of radiation therapy treatment, most of all its symptom relief, are due to many factors including better tissue perfusion, destruction of inflammation in tissue, stimulation of the immune defense cells, neutralization of the acidic tissue and, subsequently, better inflammatory response and influence over the pain fibers of the autonomous vegetative system. Conditions including Dupuytren’s, Peyronie’s Disease, inflammatory disorders, degenerative disorders, and hypertrophic disorders can be treated with radiation therapy.
Radiant Aura
Radiant Aura™ is the smallest, office-based dual modality low energy superficial radiation therapy device for dermatology practices available on the market today. It offers non-surgical treatment options to treat non-melanoma skin cancer and keloid scarring and recently received US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) Clearance.
