TYPES AND SIZES

The Soubra™ is available in two gauges:

The LIGHT Soubra™ is comprised of one layer of silicone with sheer nylon fabric on the outer surface. It is paper thin and highly transparent. It is recommended for lighter prostheses and for women who do not regularly engage in vigorous physical activities.

The REINFORCED Soubra™ includes an internal reinforcing layer of sheer nylon fabric and is recommended for heavier prostheses and for women who are more physically active.

Both gauges are available widths of 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4". It is recommended that the Soubra™ be at least as wide as the bra shoulder strap. More active women should add another 1/4". The Soubra™ comes in a standard 12" length (from top of adhesive strip) and can be trimmed to a shorter length by the user. Soubras™ longer than 12" are available at extra cost.

Soubras™ come with a standard Type "A" adhesive patch for attachment to the prosthesis. They also include one spare Type "A" adhesive plus one stronger Type "B" adhesive, in case it should be required. These adhesives work fine with standard polurethane covered prostheses. *PLEASE NOTE* If your prosthesis has a natural rubber cover please let us know when you place your order so that we can install the proper Type "C" adhesive that is required. For manufacturers of natural rubber covered prostheses see "Helpful Links".

Soubras™ are also available with hook and loop type (Velcro™ type) surfaces for attachment to prostheses bearing hook and loop patches, at no additional cost.
