A Fresh Approach To Patient Access.

“Just a little lift” to bridge the final gap becomes a hidden OH&S nightmare, with RT teams reporting shoulder and back strain from repetitive, awkward postures. These micro-injuries compound in high-volume departments, driving up workers’ comp claims and staff burnout.

Slow, assisted patient transfers into the radiation bunker erode daily throughput, turning a standard 30-fraction list into overtime chaos. RTs know the drill: unsteady patients hesitate at the edge of the couch, requiring multiple staff assists that steal 1-2 minutes per session—adding up across a full day.

Patients feel it too: anxiety spikes when mobility falters publicly, stripping dignity and independence during an already vulnerable process. Purpose-built steps restore confidence, letting mobile but unsteady individuals step up autonomously while staff focus on precise alignment.

Repetitive “just a little lift” assists contribute to back and shoulder strains, which account for 35% of manual handling injuries in healthcare. PS02 acts as an engineering control—preferred under Safe Work Australia guidelines—minimising awkward postures and staff exposure during positioning. This aligns with ARPANSA recommendations for protecting RT personnel in radiation environments.

PS02 Bunker Steps streamline entry and exit from the treatment couch, potentially saving 1–2 minutes per fraction by enabling unsteady patients to step up independently, thereby protecting list timings across 20–30 daily sessions. This reduces delays from assisted transfers, helping RT teams hit on-time starts and avoid overtime in high-volume departments. Australian RT workflows increasingly prioritise such efficiency tools to maximise machine utilisation, as detailed in time-and-motion reviews.

Mobile but unsteady patients often hesitate or require hands-on help, spiking anxiety and eroding confidence during vulnerable moments. Stable, intuitive PS02 steps restore independence, allowing patients to self-transfer while staff oversee alignment—improving the emotional experience without compromising precision. ESTRO guidelines emphasise reproducible, comfortable positioning to support this.

Height-matched to standard linac couches, PS02 integrates seamlessly with treatment bunkers, allowing easy movement directly to either the left or right side of the couch. This supports emerging efficiency protocols in Australian RT centres.

Engineered for daily RT demands with non-slip, cleanable surfaces that withstand disinfectants and high throughput. Minimal maintenance fits busy department schedules, ensuring longevity without downtime. Complies with radiation safety cleaning standards for bunker use.​
