The innovation of custom-made external breast prostheses
Aware of the difficulties for breast cancer patients to obtain a suitable prosthesis, we decided to develop an innovative tailor-made prosthesis to help women feel better.
In France, breast cancer is a public health issue with around 59,000 new cases per year. Despite improved surgical techniques, there is still around 30% mastectomy performed every year.
Definitively or temporarily, one of the alternatives to restore a volume in the bra is the use of external breast prosthesis.
Currently, there are 3 silicone brands that are marketed and refunded. These standard prostheses take into account only the curve of the patients and not the weight of the remaining breast making adaptation difficult to all body types.
The difference in breast weights can cause several disorders: postural, pain, discomfort, psychological impact on quality of life as well as medico-economic impact.
MEAVANTI is an external breast prosthesis for custom calibration and personalization, which can prevent postural compensation and provide greater comfort.
