life a little easier for women following breast cancer ,” Eoin begins . “ Our innovative breast prostheses are designed and manufactured to replicate breast shapes , forms , and feel , following a full or partial mastectomy . We also produce a range of mastectomy bras at our Canadian facility , which can be used in conjunction with our breast prostheses . “ Radiant Impressions , our custom breast prosthesis , is a non-surgical breast reconstruction option for people who have had a mastectomy , lumpectomy , or reconstruction surgery . It is a realistic prosthesis that simulates breast tissue and provides symmetry to a bra fit . Made of 100 percent medical grade silicone , the custom breast prosthesis is lightweight and can be worn directly against the chest wall in a nonpocketed bra .”
Delving into the technology behind this custom product , Eoin continues : “ We
use a tablet with Structure Sensor scanning technology to capture a precise and rapid 3D scan that quickly creates a detailed image of the patient ’ s surgery site . This scan is used to create a 3D model , which is then used to print a custom mold using an SLA additive manufacturing machine . From this mold , we create a custom breast prosthesis that will exactly match the contours of the patient ’ s chest wall , which makes it truly unique to that patient . The prosthesis can be further customized with the addition of freckles , veins , and even tattoos .”
“ We enjoy a well-deserved reputation for manufacturing the most natural products on the market ,” he adds . “ Recognizing that silicone is an established material in the medical industry that is durable , compatible with skin , and excellent at relieving and redistributing pressure , encouraged the Trulife team to pursue other uses for silicone . In 1995 , we began producing our PressureCare range of pressure
