THE Breast Self Examination Pad™

When it comes to breast health, breast self-examination is one of the three components of a comprehensive breast-screening program, including from age 40, regular, clinical breast exams by your doctor and mammograms, as recommended by the American Cancer Society.

Wouldn't it be great if there were a product you could use to enhance your own sense of touch during your monthly breast self examination? Well now there is.

The BSE Pad™is a medical device composed of soft, ultra-thin latex-free polyurethane with a special lubricant sealed inside.

The BSE Pad™ was designed to help women perform their monthly breast self-examination with confidence. The BSE Pad™ reduces friction and may provide for an easier and more comfortable breast self examination.

Your breast self-exam should be performed first with your bare hands and then with The BSE Pad™. Read and follow the instructions included in the box for proper use of The BSE Pad™.

How to use the BSE Pad™

1. Rub The BSE Pad™ between your hands to spread the lubricant inside the pad. This will also help to warm The BSE Pad™ to your body temperature.

2. Lay The BSE Pad™ over the area to be examined. Press down firmly on The BSE Pad™ with your fingers flat and move them over the area to be examined. Use the pads of your fingers, not the tips. The top layer of The BSE Pad™ will move while the bottom layer remains stationary. By reducing friction, your fingers concentrate on the perceived sense of shape.

3. Repeat this procedure until you are comfortable with how The BSE Pad™ is to be used.

It is important to note that a breast self-exam needs to be done with flat fingers, not with the fingertips. Bend your wrist to go over the curves of your breast, keeping constant contact and pressure with your skin. Make small circles covering the entire breast.

It is also important to note that some women are genetically predisposed to lumpiness in their breasts. Do not be alarmed; report any changes to your physician for proper evaluation.

Breast self-examination should be performed both while lying down flat on your back and standing in front of a mirror. Be sure to take enough time to examine both breasts thoroughly.

RESEARCH BRIEF OF THE BSE PAD:

2. Holds 2 US Patents Re.34,353 & 4,793,354 which proves it works.
