MammaCare is the scientifically validated method of breast self-examination created with the support of the National Cancer Institute. Accurate breast self-examination means learning what to feel for. Watching a video or reading a pamphlet is simply not enough. Because breast examination is a tactile skill that depends on trained fingers, the MammaCare Breast Model Teaching System for Professionals shows you how to teach your patients with a series of lifelike breast models. These models simulate the feeling of normal nodular breast tissue and suspicious tumors. Research demonstrates that fingers can detect suspicious simulated breast tumors as small as 3 millimeters (smaller than a pea). The MammaCare Breast Model Teaching System for Professionals achieves peak sensitivity by practicing on breast models so lifelike they have been used to calibrate mammography machines. Watching the DVD demonstration while practicing on the breast model builds effective tactile skills. The Breast Model Teaching System for Professionals with two tactually accurate breast models is the perfect addition to your office, clinic or breast center.
