PERSONAL TOUCH® forms are special for 2 reasons: they are 40% lighter than satandard-weight silicone gel forms, and they are built in 3 layers.
The outside layer is "whipped" silicone gel. It is super-soft and drapes like mature breast tissue. Across the contoured back is a thin layer of clear silicone that helps the breast form maintain its shape. Tucked behind the two silicone layers, there is a removable foam insert. The foam insert has a self-gripping front surface that helps hold it in place behind the form, and it has a soft, breathable-cotton surface that fits against the skin. The foam insert keeps the skin cool, dry, and comfortable without adding weight. Both pieces of the breast form are washable.
The form can also be worn without the foam insert if more natural tissue has been left. Because this form has so many fitting options, it is very important to be fit by a CMF.
The Full “Classic” shape is asymmetrical, so each form fits only the right or the left side of the body. The “Classic” shape often provides a very custom fit.
Consumers should discuss all fitting and health insurance options regarding this form with a Certified Mastectomy Fitter (CMF). Click here for more details about CMFs.
