Background

There are probably no words more frightening to women than “Breast Cancer". Although all women are at risk, the best way to conquer this fear and stay healthy is to arm yourself with the facts, be aware of changes in your body, proactively check your breasts monthly, see a health professional each year, and seek periodic mammography. It is well documented and proven that the best chance of treating breast cancers successfully is to detect them early. That is why early detection is the best protection from the consequences of this insidious health threat. Facts on Breast Cancer

Many breast problems are initially found by women themselves during breast self-examination (BSE). The AWARE™ BSE kit makes breast self-exams easy, highly effective, convenient and less intimidating to do. The unique AWARE™ pad increases and enhances the sense of touch by reducing friction between the fingers and breast. The comprehensive instructional video included in the kit gives a complete step by step demonstration of using the Aware pad during BSE. Instructions are extremely easy to understand and together with the comprehensive background information on early detection of breast cancers, provides an excellent defense against this potentially life threatening disease. Also provided is a helpful resource of organizations to call if you need additional information.

Summary and Explanation

The AWARE™ pad is a thin polyurethane bladder, 9.5 inches in diameter containing a small quantity of silicone fluid. The very thin nature of the polyester polyurethane allows the pad to conform to the shape of the soft breast tissues underlying it. The polyurethane material is 6 thousand of an inch in thickness and when properly used between the fingers and the soft breast tissues, the Aware pad provides a substantial reduction of friction thereby increasing touch sensitivity. The very thin and flexible bladder in combination with the encased silicone fluid provides easy sliding between the upper and lower surfaces of the bladder producing a very low friction coefficient during breast self-examinations. Physician, clinical and consumer studies confirm the increased tactility using the AWARE™ BSE pad   improves  and enhances the overall effectiveness of breast self-examinations.

Clinical Trials and Specificity

Physicians, GPs OBGYNs and Internists in active practice were provided an AWARE™ BSE sensor pad and asked to utilize the pad themselves in their routine patient breast examination procedures for a period of one week. At the end of the trial, the physicians were asked to evaluate their opinions of the AWARE™ BSE sensor pad and their clinical findings during its use in their practices. A chart summarizing the results is shown on the technical specifications page. In clinical and consumer trials for FDA certification, women, chosen at random and representing all age groups were similarly asked to use and evaluate the AWARE™ BSE sensory pad and resource kit for their own breast examinations. Results of this study are also summarized in part on the technical specifications page.
