Getting it right the first time: How Elevated Skin Markers Are Changing CT Simulation
InkRight semi-permanent tattoos https://beekley.com/radiation-oncology/inkright-semi-permanent-tattoos, for radiation therapy represent Beekley Medical’s latest innovation, combining clinical precision and convenience with patient lifestyles and preferences.
A Culturally Sensitive Solution to Treatment Planning
Mike McGuire, Beekley’s Director of Strategic Growth and Innovation, highlighted the significance of the InkRight project for our product development team. “Cancer is a profoundly personal matter not only because each patient’s condition is unique, but also due to its impact on mental health. Cancer centers globally recognize this and treat their patients with deep empathy, customizing care to meet individual needs. However, permanent tattoos used in radiation therapy can leave enduring marks that constantly remind patients of a distressing or frightening period in their lives.
Many patients prefer not to have this permanent reminder, and some cannot receive tattoos due to religious reasons. Our aim was to create a product that accurately marks the skin for radiation therapy but fades over time, removing the long-term reminder of their experience. This product was designed with patient compassion in mind while also equipping healthcare providers with an optimal tool for planning radiation therapy.
Designed with Usability in Mind
InkRight semi permanent tattoos allow clinicians to avoid using permanent ink, ensuring no lasting marks from treatment. They are ideal for patients who, due to cultural or religious reasons, may not want permanent skin changes. The tattoos are visible right after application and darken over time, remaining visible for up to two weeks. Patients can immediately return to their usual activities, like bathing and exercising, once the tattoo is applied.
InkRight semi-permanent dot and crosshair tattoos https://beekley.com/radiation-oncology/inkright-semi-permanent-tattoos, are individually packaged and very user-friendly no water, freezing, or extra tools are required. The tattoo can be easily reapplied for longer treatments, and aligning with existing marks is straightforward. They provide consistency and dependability for ongoing care.
