Standard Breast Examination Trainer (Light Skin Tone)
Limbs & Things’ Standard Breast Examination Trainer provides a realistic learning platform for both bench top and simulated patient learning.
This breast examination simulator offers a range of pathologies and set-up options, allowing trainees to acquire the fundamental skills to perform clinical and breast self examinations.
When designing the latest version of our Breast Examination Trainer we made strides in improving the realism and pathologies of the model, in close collaboration with:
- Peter Donnelly of Torbay Hospital, UK
- Staff of the Clinical Skills Resource Centre, University of Liverpool, UK

Using the breast supports, pathologies can be easily placed for the examination and identification of fibrocystic disease, fibroadenoma, cyst and carcinomas.
