Designed For Comfort
Available in regular visco and open cell visco, these body-conforming foams mould and contour to the patient's shape, supporting key pressure points and redistributing weight across the entire surface. Clinical studies have shown that up to three out of every four women can experience an average 50% decrease in discomfort during a mammography when utilising a radiolucent cushioning pad.
