At Tecmed Pharma, we are committed to advancing precision, comfort, and care in radiation therapy. We’re proud to announce the launch of the GrayDuck Dart, a ground breaking innovation in custom-fitted oral immobilisation and tongue displacement. Designed specifically for the radiation oncology industry, the GrayDuck Dart offers a novel solution for head and neck cancer treatment by addressing a critical need: protecting healthy oral tissues during radiotherapy.

Precision Meets Protection

The GrayDuck Dart stands apart as the only custom-fitted bite block that allows for multi-directional tongue deviation. With options to move the tongue left, right, or downward, the device effectively displaces healthy tissue away from the radiation field. This not only aids in oral mucosal sparing, but also minimises backscatter, improving the safety and accuracy of each session.

Fast, Comfortable, and Clinically Smart

From initial fitting to daily use, the GrayDuck Dart is built to support the rigors of radiation treatment with ease. Its lightweight design and boil-‘n-bite technology allow for fast patient turnaround without compromising on individualised care.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Custom tongue displacement in 3 directions: Protects healthy tissue, reduces radiation side effects, and improves patient outcomes.
• Jaw and tissue immobilisation: Ensures consistency across treatments with a stable, reproducible position.
• EVA material for teeth impression: Provides a secure, comfortable fit while reducing movement during therapy.
• Quick 10-minute custom fitting: No long setup times; the stent moulds quickly to each patient, streamlining clinic workflows.
• Durable and easy-to-clean materials: Made with trusted polycarbonate and EVA for longevity and hygienic reuse.

A Game-Changer for South African Oncology Care

The launch of the GrayDuck Dart is particularly impactful for South Africa, where access to high-quality, precision-driven cancer care is a growing priority. With increasing rates of head and neck cancers, this innovative device empowers local oncology centres with advanced tools to improve treatment outcomes while enhancing patient comfort. Its quick and cost-effective fitting process makes it ideal for high-volume public and private healthcare facilities, reducing setup times and improving efficiency without sacrificing care quality. By introducing this technology to South Africa, Tecmed Pharma is helping bridge the gap between global innovation and local patient needs, supporting clinicians, enhancing treatment safety, and ultimately improving lives across the country
