Breast Model Teaching System by MammaCare® by MammaCare®

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, MammaCare produced an affordable NEW Personal Learning System to train the sense of touch on a lifelike breast model. The model simulates the feeling of normal nodular breast tissue and suspicious tumors. Research demonstrates that fingers can detect suspicious simulated breast tumors small as 3 millimeters (smaller than a pea). MammaCare's new Learning System achieves peak sensitivity by practicing on a breast model so lifelike it has been used to calibrate mammography machines. Watching the DVD demonstration while practicing on the breast model builds effective tactile skills. The kit's DVD is available in English, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin Chinese. The English DVD is available with open captions for women who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. The MammaCare Personal Learning System won a Merit Award for Health Promotion in the 2009 National Health Information Awards Program.
