What are the advantages of the indexed BreastSTEP compared with the conventional BreastSTEP?

The indexed BreastSTEP is much lighter because the carbon fibre baseplate has no connection to the Slide Stop (also making it much shorter.) Both parts of the indexed BreastSTEP are fixed separately on the table by using indexing bars. If the tables are not indexed, it is possible to use independent indexing clamps.

The conventional model comes in one piece and has no possibility to fix it on the table. The advantage of the conventional BreastSTEP is that it’s moveable with the patient on the board. Both systems have the same unctionality of height, arm and wrist adjustments.
