gel based on polydimethylsiloxane, color
pigments and microspheres (in lightweight
prostheses).

4. Care Instructions
What to avoid:
• Avoid sharp objects. Be careful with sharp,
pointed objects. Brooches, needles, finger-
nails, scissors, pet claws, and other sharp
objects can cause permanent damage to
your breast prostheses.
• Avoid stretching, twisting, friction or exces-
sive use of force when handling your breast
prosthesis.
• Avoid direct contact with perfume, hot
surfaces or hot water.
• The breast prosthesis is resistant to sweat,
ENGLISH
moisture, water (both salt and chlorine
water).
Proper skin care and skin preparation is es-
sential for long-lasting adhesion:
• To achieve the best possible adhesion,
please clean and dry your skin thoroughly
in the adhesive area before applying the
Attach breast prosthesis.
• Your skin should be free of soap residue,
moisture, creams, powder and perfume.
Skin care products containing oils may
impair the adhesive surface of the Attach
prosthesis.
Fitting the Attach Prostheses:
1. Stand in front of a mirror and put on your
bra (as seen in the example on page 2).
2. Place your adhesive prosthesis (with the
protective film still in place on the adhesive
surface) in the bra cup (but not in the
pocket). Position your Attach prosthesis in
the desired location in bra cup.
3. Remove the protective film, preferably
without touching the adhesive surface.
4. Press the bra cup with the adhesive side of
the Attach prosthesis against your chest (as
seen in the example on page 2).
5. Lastly, to ensure a smooth transition from
chest to prostheses, make sure the edges of
the breast prostheses adhere cleanly to the
chest. To do this, hold the Attach prosthesis
in place with one hand and gently press
down the sides with the other hand.
