Bianca Post-Op Bra

Bianca is intended for post-surgical use after breast surgery and/or during radiotherapy, as the bra does not contain metal parts.

Bianca is designed to cover the entire treated area of the breast to offer the best possible protection, compression and support, speeding up the entire recovery period. Through a fine balance between compression and support,

Bianca reduces the harmful build-up of blood and tissue fluids, which minimises post-surgical swelling and infection risk, and improves blood circulation and wound healing.

The main function of Bianca is to protect, fixate and support the breasts. assist a speedy wound healing and provide optimum user comfort. This may result in a reduced and almost invisible scar.

Design
The design is simple (no extra accessories), which makes the bra a perfect choice for breast support during radiation treatment.

• Wide shoulder straps provide excellent support to the treated breasts and ensure that no pressure marks or uncomfortable shoulder indentations will occur.
• Bianca is mainly made of soft cotton, primarily to obtain skin friendliness and comfort, but also to get superior hold and support.
• The bra is seamlessly knitted and has no seams in critical areas, i.a. on or around the cups or on the sides as is the case in most competitive bras.
• For superior skin friendliness and comfort the bra has a wide and soft under bust band that also allows easy and untroubled drainage.
• Women, who have had breast surgery, often take on a protective posture to shield the treated area. Bianca is designed with a high back to offer post-surgical posture correction. The aim is to protect muscles and joints from strain, reducing neck, shoulder and back pain and providing additional support for a comfortable recovery.

Features

• Front closure with hook-and-loop fastener. Loop part is made of soft velour. Hook part with strong and solid grip.
• Nice and comfortable edge band for superior skin friendliness.
• No irritating care label. Care handling instructions are integrated in the under bust band for optimum skin friendliness.

Indications: Medical device for post-surgical use after breast surgery and/or during radiotherapy (the bra contains no metal parts).

Precautions: If you have any questions regarding use and correct fitting, please consult your doctor or nurse. Make sure that any bandages and/or drainage tubes underneath the bra are placed correctly to avoid pressure points and/or obstructed flow from the drainage tubes. If any unexpected discomfort, wound irritation or similar occurs, please consult your doctor or nurse.

To find the correct size of your bra, always measure yourself, while wearing an unpadded bra. Two measurements are important: The band size (below your breast) and the bust size. 

This is how you measure correctly (Watch video below for guidance):

1. Measure around your body, just under your breast (band size)
2. Measure around your body, at the fullest part of the breast (bust size)
The difference between these two measurements gives the cup size:

10 - 12 cm = Cup AA
12 - 14 cm = Cup A
14 - 16 cm = Cup B
16 - 18 cm = Cup C
18 - 20 cm = Cup D
20 - 22 cm = Cup E 

Please note: Carefix advises to measure yourself after your surgery, but since most patients need to have their bra with them by the time of their surgery, they suggest that you can still measure before your surgery. Simply find the size you fall under using the above graph, then go up one or two sizes to account for the possible swelling. For less compression go up 2 sizes, for more compression go up one size.
