“If a patient chooses a lumpectomy, radiation is almost always a part of her treatment
protocol. Red, irritated skin is an unfortunate side effect and she needs a soft garment that
will support her breasts and provide some comfort to her irradiated skin. I have found that
Amoena post-surgical bras work well during this phase of recovery. My patients live in these
garments several weeks after surgery, so I want to make sure they are as comfortable and
accommodating to her as possible.”

“My goal after performing a mastectomy is to make sure my patient is taken care of physically,
emotionally and spiritually. She needs a soft, comfortable garment to wear during those first few
weeks after surgery—and one that can manage drains in the most effective and discreet way
possible. But it’s also important for the garment to hold a post-surgical breast form to give her
shape, which can help her feel good about herself.”
Dr. Beth Baughman DuPree, M.D., F.A.C.S., Medical Director of The Breast Health Program at Holy Redeemer Health System,
Meadowbrook, Pennsylvania, USA

How Amoena PurFit Works
Light compression; hook and eye front
closure; Velcro straps open in front;
pockets hold a post-surgical breast
form if desired
Medium compression bra, for all types
of breast surgery to support the shaping
of the tissue and stabilizes the shape by
evenly spreading pressure to the bust
area2
Anatomically shaped with strong,
stretchable material for optimal fit and
compression of upper breast area
•All types of breast surgery (mastectomy, breast reconstruction, reduction, augmentation)
and any chest related surgery
•May help to evenly compress the chest area which can support the breast tissue
•Helps to reduce movement or shifting of tissue or implant
•May help to protect and reduce irritation against sensitive scar tissue
•May help to reduce the risk of lymphoedema
•May help to reduce post-surgical swelling, hematoma, and post-surgery pain
Patient is in the early phases of tissue expansion on her left
side and is in need of volume in order to symmetrically match her
natural breast so she can fill out the bra cup completely—
and feel more confident.
“For me, an adequate compression is an important part of the healing process. Less swelling
means less pain for the patient. Therefore, I can recommend the compression bra Eva for
postoperative use in all forms of bust-forming surgery. The Eva is not only a patient-friendly
product that stands out for easy use and wearing comfort, it influences the operation result
positively as well.”
Dr. Maximilian von Pichler, Chief Physician Reconstructive Surgery, Asklepios Clinic Burglengenfeld (Germany)
Using the fiberfill, the Amoena
PurFit enhancer is adjusted to the
desired volume, and is centered
over the tissue expander. The
silicone shell provides a natural
shape.
The enhancer completely
fills the bra cup, helping
the patient feel secure and confident with a symmetrical silhouette
throughout the expansion process.
“Whether we are reconstructing one breast or both, there is time during the expansion process
when the woman needs regular symmetry to fit her bra and clothing properly. PurFit addresses
these concerns and my patients have been thrilled with the results. The comfort and versatility
has allowed them to get back into their own clothing very quickly. Some may say that this is only
a temporary issue to deal with, but when you are trying to return to your normal life as soon as
possible, PurFit can be invaluable.”
