A pad for cushioning a compression device, e.g., an x-ray plate, of a mammography unit. The pad includes a radiolucent central region, e.g., including radiolucent orientation markings, that is secured adjacent a contact surface of the x-ray plate. The pad includes a pair of side regions secured along respective side surfaces of the x-ray plate including a slot for inserting an x-ray cassette into the x-ray plate. The pad also includes a front region securable along a front surface of the x-ray plate. A double coated tape may be attached to the pad that includes a pressure sensitive adhesive for removably attaching the pad to the x-ray plate. Alliteratively, the side regions may extend around the compression device and connect to one another to secure the pad or the pad may be a sleeve that is slidably received around at least a portion of the compression device.

L'invention concerne un tampon d'amortissement pour dispositif de compression, du type plaque de radiographie, dans une unité de mammographie, qui comprend une partie centrale transparente aux rayons X, par exemple avec des marques d'orientation transparentes aux rayons X, en position adjacente à une surface de contact de la plaque de radiographie. Le tampon comprend une paire de parties latérales le long des surfaces latérales respectives de la plaque de radiographie, avec une fente permettant d'introduire une cassette de radiographie dans la plaque. Le tampon comprend en outre une partie frontale pouvant être fixée le long d'une surface frontale de la plaque. Une bande à double revêtement, qui peut être fixée au tampon, comprend un adhésif autocollant pour la fixation libérable du tampon sur la plaque de radiographie. En guise de variante, les parties latérales peuvent s'étendre autour du dispositif de compression et être reliées entre elles pour la fixation du tampon, ou bien le tampon prend la forme d'un manchon reçu coulissant au moins autour d'une partie du dispositif de compression.
