A Comfortable Mammogram

A friend mentioned the other day that she was due for her annual mammogram (a hot topic right now given the U.S. government's recent report). The aspect of the procedure she dreads the most is the discomfort. Like many women, my friend did not know about the Soft Touch MammoPads used by facilities such as The Breast Center at St. David's Medical Center. Soft pads are placed onto the mammo equipment, providing cushioning during the mammogram. I believe the cushions are disposable so they are completely hygienic. Another innovation that the world (at least women!) should know about.
