Product Description
MammaCare is the scientifically validated method of breast self-examination created by medical scientists 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. The American Cancer Society now recommends self- exam procedures developed by MammaCare. 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 lumps as 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. This breast model has special examination pacing properties and is intended for personal use. This kit 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. |

Take charge of your own health care by Makayla Malinowski (Washington, DC)  5 Stars
August 23, 2009
This system is a thorough and detailed breast self exam technique. I have never had a doctor perform any breast exam as comprehensive as this system teaches. I prefer to skip the mammography radiation unless and until I detect something on my own that warrants it. The MammaCare system appears to be my best bet in achieving that goal.

All women should have this kit by Judith Zabriskie 5 Stars
June 30, 2009
I live in Madison, Wisconsin, where medical care is superior but competent clinical breast examination remains a lost art. The MammaCare breast model trained my fingers so well that I now feel confident that I will not miss small changes in my breasts even if my doctor does. Thank you, MammaCare. All women should have this kit.

The Best Breast Self Examination tool conceived by Barbara Green (New York, NY USA) 5 Stars
June 25, 2009
This is the best tool I have ever seen to help me get to know the geography and the changes in my breasts. I feel that if anything changes I will definitely know and be able to help save my own life. There is no one that cares about my life as much as I do and now I have a little control over at least one part of my medical well being. Thank you Mammacare.
