Flexi•holder® — Versatile, Multi-Angle Film Cassette Holder

Flexi•holder® significantly reduces retakes caused by improper cassette positioning. It permits smoother scheduling and superior radiographs saving film, time and labor for cost effective radiographic procedures. Our Flexi•holder® features an extra wide base for maximum stability. It allows accurate radiographs to be taken from virtually any angle from floor level to 71"+ (180 cm) high. It rolls into position on large, locking casters and tilts the cassette 180 degrees facing straight up, down or anywhere in between. the Flexi•holder® accept virtually all cassettes.

Agfa® CR— For digital simulation and portal imaging

Together, the Huestis Flexi-holder® and the Agfa® Computed Radiography save radiotherapy departments and clinics time and money, while improving image quality. One CR Solution provides digital Portal and Simulation images for multiple rooms and Agfa® CR is directly compatible with most radiotherapy equipment. The Flexi-holder® significantly reduces retakes caused by improper cassette positioning. Extremely stable, its wide base allows for accurate radiographs to be taken from virtually any angle. A change from film/screen to the Agfa® CR can save your department on film usage, chemicals, and image storage space, with all the benefits of digital imaging.

System Highlights

Easy Operation

Drop cassette against stop and tighten grips. Adjust visually or by calibration scales. Roll into place and lock casters.

Tabletop Flexi•holder

Tabletop model (FH-201) tilts cassette 135° from horizontal. It slides under patient or holds cassette below edge of table.
