Advanced Breast Exam Simulator has been designed for supine examination, but may
also be used standing upright if desired. Training may be done with or without the overlay skin. The
protective film wrapped around the breast inserts will need to be removed prior to use. It is recommended
that film is kept on inserts when storing the trainer. This will prevent oiliness and possible damage to the
overlay skin and underbody.
(See figure 1.)

A light dusting of baby powder on the skin and breast inserts will reduce any tackiness for a more
lifelike feel and easier assembly.
(See figure 2.)

The simulator is supplied with different sized “lumps” in soft (pink), medium (white), and hard (red)
densities. The extra-soft (brown) lumps cannot be palpated, but may be placed in any empty cavity
to represent normal tissue.
Note:
The simulator is shipped with seven of the brown lumps already
installed in the breast insert cavities. The black lump represents an invasive tumor that has attached
to the chest wall. It may be inserted into any of the four holes drilled into the underbody.
(See figure 3.)
3.
To change lumps, remove the outer skin and turn over the breast insert. Place the selected lumps
into the corresponding cavities in the back
(see figure 4)
, then replace the breast insert and skin.
Lumps may also be placed at other locations in the breast, so long as they do not interfere with the
fit of the insert on the underbody.
