ABSTRACT:
To provide a universal breast prosthesis usable as a substitute for either the right or left breast and for patients who have had varying degrees of surgery, scarring, muscle removal and the like, a breast prosthesis is provided having an upper flap and symmetrical lateral flaps. The upper flap is designed to cover subclavicular defects of varying degrees and can be trimmed as desired depending on the nature and extent of the defect to be covered. Similarly, the opposite lateral flaps are designed to cover sternum and underarm defects, and each can be separately trimmed depending upon the nature and extent of the respective defects.
