If you have been putting off mammograms because of the pain the test causes, here is good news and another reason why you should stay up to date on your breast cancer screening. A new FDA approved product the MammoPad significantly reduces the discomfort many women feel during mammography.  MammoPad is an adhesive-backed, single use cushion that is easily applied to any standard mammography machine, without affecting image quality.

The MammoPad is warmer than the traditional ice cold platform the breasts usually have to lay on, and is more comfortable. It is also sanitized making it more cleaner too. What doctors are finding is that not only are women more comfortable, they also get excellent compressions and could sometimes see more breast tissue. Dr. Gail Lebovic, now lead surgeon at Baylor Breast Care Specialists of North Texas, invented MammoPad. BioLucent worked with Dr. Lebovic to perfect the product's design, how easy it would be to manufacture, and clinical testing. MammoPad is FDA cleared and is available worldwide.
