A draping system for use with a medical apparatus, such as a prone breast biopsy system. The draping system may be in the form of a kit ready to be installed on the medical apparatus and may include one or more of a first drape, a second drape, and a third drape. The first drape may include a mat and a protuberance, the mat and the protuberance being coupled together. The protuberance may be configured to receive a paddle mount of the medical apparatus. The mat may have a distal end configured to be secured to a breast support platform of the medical apparatus just below an image receptor. The second drape may include a mat having a distal end configured to be mounted on a compression paddle of the medical apparatus. The third drape may be configured to be inserted over the control panel of the medical apparatus.
A draping system suitable for use with a prone biopsy system, the prone biopsy system comprising a paddle mount, the draping system comprising a first drape, the first drape comprising a first mat and a protuberance, the protuberance extending upwardly from the first mat and having a completely enclosed distal end spaced apart from the first mat such that the protuberance is configured to be inserted over the paddle mount, wherein the first mat and the protuberance comprise different materials.
A draping system suitable for use with a prone biopsy system, the prone biopsy system comprising a paddle mount and a compression paddle, the compression paddle being mountable on the paddle mount, the draping system comprising:
A draping system suitable for use with a prone biopsy system, the prone biopsy system comprising a paddle mount, the draping system comprising a first drape, the first drape comprising a first member and a second member, the first member comprising a first mat having a first transverse opening, the second member comprising a protuberance and a flange, wherein the protuberance extends substantially perpendicularly relative to the flange and includes a completely enclosed distal end spaced apart from the flange, the first member coupled to the second member such that the protuberance extends through the first transverse opening of the first mat and being configured to receive the paddle mount, the flange being used to couple the protuberance to the first mat.
