What are the benefits of the WingSTEP compared to the BreastSTEP?
The WingSTEP can be used for all treatments in the upper part of the body area (lung, liver, mediastinum, oesophagus,....) and of course for breast treatments. The breast must be treated in a flat position with no angles and there is only one wedge that can be added (MCT Wedge available). The BreastSTEP is especially designed for breast treatments. It allows 4 different upper heights, 18 arm and 8 wrist support options.
