The XPress BCD (breast compression device) is used in conjunction stereotactic breast biopsy devices. The primary function of the device is to provide effective consistent mechanical breast compression following stereotactic-guided biopsy, replacing standard manual compression of post breast biopsy sites. Reliable and effective mechanical breast compression, with equivalent clinical outcomes, reduces medical staff blood exposure and allows for significant labor savings. This model has an offset pyramidal surface area to apply increased pressure to an offset point.
A noninvasive device intended to be attached to a radiological breast positioner (e.g., paddle) to provide pressure and achieve haemostasis to the breast. It is intended to be used with a dressing (e.g., gauze) after an image-guided surgical or interventional procedure (e.g., biopsy); the positioner and dressing are not included. It is typically in the form of a small block with various compression surface configurations. This is a reusable device.
