How To Measure ABC Mastectomy Bra?

Measure for the Band size:

• Measure circumference at bra band.
• Measurement should be snug.
• Have patient hold arms at sides or on hips while you measure the circumference.
• Add either 4 or 5 inches to the circumference measurement to achieve an even number.
• For the patient who presents in a wheelchair:
  • Some patients can stand even if they cannot ambulate.
  • Its ok to ask patient if she can stand.
  • If patient cannot stand, measure her while seated.
  • If seated, do not add extra to the chest circumference measurement.

Measure for the Cup size:

• Measure from the center of the sternum, over the apex of the natural breast, under the arm, to the center of the spine.
• Measurement should be taut, not snug.
• Double the measurement.
• Calculate the difference between the cup measurement and the band measurement.
• The difference determines the cup size :
  0 inch = AA Cup
  1 inch = A Cup
  2 inch = B Cup
  3 inch = C Cup
  4 inch = D Cup
  5 inch = DD Cup
