Advanced Breast Exam Simulator LF00980U

Breast Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths among women. Properly performed exams are essential to detect cancer while it is in the early treatable stage.

Teach both clinical and self-breast examination with exceptional realism

Unlike other simulators, tissue density actually varies within the simulated breast, just as it does in a live patient. Tumors of varying sizes (1-4 cm diameter), shapes (round, oval, irregular/stellate), and densities can be inserted by the instructor for an expanded combination of training scenarios. Tumors represent adenomas, cysts, malignant tumors, and enlarged lymph nodes.

The torso is correctly positioned in the supine position and allows access to both axillae. The trainer features palpable ribs, sternum and clavicles, and enlarged lymph nodes in the axillary and subclavicular areas. Peau d'orange ("orange peel skin") wiuth inflammation, inverted nipples, skin dimpling and asymmetry are also depicted on the incredibly realistic skin.

The Life/form® Advanced Breast Examination Simulator has been designed for supine examination, but may also be used standing upright if desired. Training may also be done without the overlay skin.

Includes a rigid underbody, right and left breast inserts, overlay skin, three tumor sets (27 lumps), baby powder, hard carrying case, and instruction manual.
