Mastectomy Supplies
The following is a useful list of some of the products that you may need after your mastectomy. We carry a complete line of mastectomy supplies to help you make this difficult time a little easier.
1) Breast Prosthesis
Our breast prostheses are manufactured with top grade silicone that feels ultra comfortable against your skin. They look very natural, are easily cleaned and can be worn on either your left or right side.
2) Compression Garments
Our compression garments are incredibly useful, especially if you have been diagnosed with edema, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis or venous insufficiency. They can also be worn if you are on your feet all day and suffer from swollen ankles and feet.
3) Post Surgical Garments
Post surgical garments are normally prescribed after surgery or if you have had radiation therapy. Our post surgical garments have been designed to fit comfortably and help to decrease the symptoms of lymphedema.
4) Bras
After a mastectomy, you will need a custom-made bra. At Caring Touch Medical, we have a high quality range of bras that will fit you even if you lose weight afterwards.
5) Wigs
Losing your hair is one of the worst side effects of chemotherapy. Let us help you select a wig that looks both natural and beautiful.
6) Lymphoma Sleeves.
Lymphoma can be exceptionally uncomfortable and, if you suffer from this condition, your doctor will probably recommend a lymphoma sleeve to help alleviate the symptoms. Our lymphoma sleeves are comfortable, of a great quality and you may even forget you are wearing it!
Here’s Your Next Step
At Caring Touch Medical we understand how tough of a time this can be for you.
