The Breast Chek™ Aid consists of a non-toxic lubricant sealed between two layers of polyurethane. When the Breast Chek is placed on the Breast, the bottom layer gently adheres to the skin and remains stable allowing the upper layer to slide freely underneath your fingertips. As the upper layer slides freely over the bottom layer, friction is greatly reduced. This results in what is called "sensory touch magnification", or in other words your sense of touch is greatly improved thereby improving the effectiveness of all breast self exams you do as part of your breast health program.

Rub the Breast Chek™ aid between your hands to spread the lubricant inside the pad. This will also help to warm the Breast Chek™ aid to your body temperature.
Lay the Breast Chek™ aid over the area to be examined. Press down firmly on the Breast Chek™ aid with your fingers flat and move them over the area to be examined. Use the pads of your fingers, not the tips. The top layer of the Breast Chek™ aid will move while the bottom layer remains stationary. By reducing friction, your fingers concentrate on the perceived sense of shape.

Care and Storage If the Breast Chek™ aid becomes soiled, simply rinse with warm water and let dry. Store the Breast Chek™ aid at room temperature.
