MammoPad

Radiology Associates of Hartford takes pride in being one of Hartford County’s first Certified Softer Mammogram Provider’s and pampers every mammography patient with a complimentary mammopad during their exam.

About MammoPad

Medical experts recommend that women 40 and over receive annual screening mammograms. Yet many women do not follow this recommendation, often out of fear of discomfort or pain.

Take the Pain Out of Mammography

MammoPad, a soft foam cushion, can help with the discomfort many women feel during mammography. The cushion is placed on the surface of the image detector, providing women with a softer, more comfortable mammogram. Clinical studies show three out of four women experience an average 50% decrease in discomfort with MammoPad. The radiolucent cushion does not interfere with image quality.

More than 12 million have already benefited from the MammoPad.

Helping Women and Technologists Alike

MammoPad creates a warmer, softer surface between the woman and the mammography machine, helping them to relax while enabling technologists to get the best possible image. Clinical studies show that when MammoPad is used, women are able to tolerate more compression, even though they feel significantly less discomfort. The cushion's grip-like surface also holds breast tissue in place to ensure optimal breast positioning. In fact, when combined with positioning training, MammoPad is proven to increase tissue acquisition.

How can I get MammoPad for my next mammogram?

Due to FDA regulations, MammoPad can only be obtained at a mammography center.
