Abstract

There is provided a table for positioning a patient for a medical procedure on a breast, the table comprising: a supporting platform (10) having a back end for supporting the patient's legs and a front end for supporting the patient's torso while the patient is in a prone position, and a cavity (11) at the front end for allowing the breast and a surrounding axilla region to be pendantly suspended therethrough; wherein the table has a lateral depression for allowing an arm and a shoulder adjacent to the breast to extend over the table and be lowered such that skin from the axilla region is relaxed and extends through the cavity (11), and the table is configured to provide the depression on each side of the cavity (11) in a position where a right shoulder would be when a right breast.
