Celia Comfort Bra

Celia is the only bra in the range of Carefix post-op bras that does not hold any compression and support zones as such, however, due to the flexible knitting and the material in combination with the 4-way stretchability the bra offers light fixation.

Celia is intended for post-surgical use after breast or general surgery, when full mobility is regained. As it contains no metal parts, the bra can also be worn during radiotherapy. The main function of Celia is to protect and support the breasts and to secure optimum user comfort.

Design

The simple design of the bra with no metal parts or accessories makes it a good choice for breast support during radiation treatment. In general, the bra is a very skin friendly solution.

• The shoulder straps provide good support to the treated breasts and ensure that no pressure marks or uncomfortable shoulder indentations will occur.
• Primarily knitted in soft cotton yarns for skin friendliness and comfort.
• No seams in critical areas, i.e. on or around the cups. Outer seams on the sides for increased skin friendliness.

Composition:
60 % Cotton
25 % Polyamide
15 % Elastane

Indications: Medical device for post-surgical use after general surgery, when full mobility is regained. Also suitable for radiotherapy treatment (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.
