This manual has been created as pre-reading to prepare students for practical training in 3D-SAT™

This hard copy publication was created by Andrea Darby in consultation with a registered health practitioner and based upon experienced gained from thousands of procedures in consultation with breast surgeons.

The manual is intended as preparatory theory prior to undergoing practical training however many trained technicians have found that our workbook has rounded out their knowledge and filled the gap in theory that was missing from their practical training.
