Fluid Breast Mass
In contrast to foam which tends to compress under palpation, this breast examination device uses a fluid material to better simulate the breast mass. As you depress the mass, it displaces laterally to give a realistic sensation, so you can have more effective simulation for breast examination.
Palpable Ribs
Designed to be as realistic as possible, this Simulaids Breast Exam Simulator has been designed with palpable ribs. The fluid breast mass will allow the student or patient to palpate the chest wall and learn to distinguish the normal feeling of the ribs from abnormalities.
Includes Abnormalities
Both breasts include two different types of abnormalities: (See image below for more information).
-
Left Breast
- Small Nodularity - Located in the upper, outer quadrant. Granular texture, usually bilateral, and may be associated with benign fibrocystic disease of the breast
- Fibroadenoma - Located in the lower, inside quadrant. Freely movable, slippery, firm discrete mass usually benign, but must be diagnosed by biopsy
- Right Breast
- Fixed Lump - Located in the upper, outer quadrant. Sometimes edges are indiscrete, hard, non-movable. Can be indicative of malignancy
- Fluid-filled Cyst - Located in the lower, inside quadrant. Increased density in breast caused by fibrous tissue. Can be indicative of malignancy

How Do I Clean the Breast Exam Simulator?
