The Advantage™ Flexible Personalized Patient Compression Paddle

Model 600

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.
• Can be purchased for all models of mammography machines.
• Automatic or fixed contour matching.
• No disposables required.

Effective for both digital and analog mammography X-Ray machines.
