ABSTRACT:
A portable support for a breast prosthesis includes in two disclosed embodiments an inflatable bladder of a closed loop configuration with the bladder being made of a flexible material and including valve means whereby the bladder can be selectively inflated and deflated. The bladder in its inflated condition serves to circumferentially and substantially uniformly engage and support the prosthesis without substantially deforming the prosthesis.
