ABSTRACT:
A breast prosthesis aggregate consisting of (a) a flexible resilient breast prosthesis (10) imitating a female left or right breast; and (b) one or more flexible fastening slabs (12; 40,42) sealable to the skin of the wearer by a skin-friendly adhesive. The prosthesis can be releasably secured to the slab or slabs by complementary, interacting attachment members, preferably of the hook-and-loop type with the hooks on the prosthesis, placed on a backward ledge (18) on the prosthesis and the front side of the slabs. On the ledge the attachment members are arranged in separate areas (20) disposed at a mutual distance in an arched, upward convex pattern. Loop members of the closure may be placed in an analogous pattern or may cover the entire front side of the slab. Single slab (12) may be replaced by a number of small slabs (40,42) each corresponding to one area (20) of attachment members on the ledge.
