ARIMED carries a full line of breast care products for post-mastectomy patients. We offer a warm and caring environment with Certified Fitters who are sensitive to your needs. Our fitters are trained to gain a better understanding of what you are experiencing. From a newly diagnosed woman to a long-term survivor, all women deserve the same respect and support. ARIMED is there for you.

The process for receiving your breast prosthesis and bra is very simple. Make an appointment to see one of our fitters at any of our offices. After consulting with you and discussing your needs, our fitters will measure you for a breast prosthesis and bra. Then they will show you an array of products which will best suit your needs based on your size, body, shape and proportions.

It is very important to wear a breast prosthesis. You have carried the weight of your breast on your chest wall for years and will not be accustomed to holding that weight on your shoulder. There will be a short adjustment time.

Your breast prosthesis provides much more then an aesthetic appearance: it also aids in  maintaining proper alignment of the spine and keeping you balanced.


“Wearing weighted silicone breast prosthesis following a mastectomy is medically necessary to maintain proper weight and shape symmetry of the chest and back. Maintenance of proper weight and shape is important for proper alignment of the spine, shoulders, and chest which will help minimize and prevent posture problems and back injuries.”
