Features

Can be converted to and from a flat compression paddle and a breast conforming tilt paddle with the turn of one knob.
Tilt angle can be adjusted from flat to 3.5 cm tilt at any time, even during compression.
The first 2 cm of the paddle from the chest wall always remains flat for normal compression to secure maximum close to chest wall tissue in the x-ray field. This prevents the tilt portion of the paddle from forcing breast tissue back into the chest wall.
The chest wall side of the paddle remains vertical at all tilt angles ensuring the front side of the paddle does not tilt into and block any of the x-ray field.
The gentle transition from flat to tilted surface provides for maximum patient comfort by automatically adjusting the tilt angle to each patients breast shape and desity.
Provides for full 18 x 24 cm or 24 x 30 cm non-obstructed x-ray field.
Can be used at all machine angles and does not require breast centering under paddle.
Uniform compression allows for quality images on large breasts with one exposure.
Better compression on large, post surgical, dense and implant patients.
Compression surfaces across the width of the paddle remain level at all tilt angles allowing for off center breast positioning.
Patients can easily observe the paddle conforming to their own breast shape.
Easily cleaned with standard procedures.
No field service or technician adjustments required.
Provides single paddle solution to all 18 x 24 cm and 24 x 30 cm compression requirements.
Light weight; approximately equal to the weight of all 18 x 24 cm or 24 x 30 cm compression paddles.
Automatic or fixed contour matching.
