The Secret to How Retailers Use Our Symmetry Scan Technology

Leave a Comment

Symmetry Scan technology lets retailers scan customers, store information, and order custom breast forms from almost anywhere.

What is Symmetry Scan?

Symmetry Scan, an innovation of ContourMed, offers a new technology that has replaced CAD/CAM scanning equipment – which is typically still used by retailers for fitting prosthetic breast forms. The laser scanning system involves a sophisticated iPad software application that allows for scanning of the chest wall and serves as a digital database for patient imaging data. When a retailer partners with ContourMed, they are allowing mastectomy patients access to the best breast forms on the market today.

Symmetry Scan equips clinicians, post-mastectomy retailers, and mastectomy breast form fitters throughout the country with the technical capabilities to accurately, simply, and economically perform precise imaging of the unique contours of a woman’s surgical site to provide industry leading custom breast forms.

How We Equip Retailers

The portability of this state-of-the-art imaging technology allows providers to offer comprehensive fitting and material selection. A provider’s site is equipped by with the following:

  • New iPad
  • Symmetry Scan iPad app
  • 3D scanner attachment
  • Light-weight travel case

The Symmetry Scan technology was developed with ease of use in mind. Each authorized retailer or clinic is provided step-by-step instructions for the scan capture process. The entire process of imaging and creating specifications typically takes under 20 minutes.

After the Scan

When a provider completes the scan and places an order for breast forms through the Symmetry Scan software, ContourMed’s professional patient support team receives a notification. Simultaneously, the provider is informed that the scan has been received by the ContourMed team. The provider is updated on the status of the order until it is completed, so they can track progress of the order and communicate with the patient along the way.

Additionally, the provider can review all orders for their patients at any time and directly communicate with ContourMed to make order adjustments by sending messages through the Symmetry Scan platform. Symmetry Scan’s digital user interface is HIPPA compliant, with a secure database back-up system.

A year after Ellen Eddings discovered she had breast cancer in her right breast, after 33 rounds of chemotherapy and radiation at the University of Chicago Medical Center, an irregularity was discovered in her left breast.

“I had a bilateral mastectomy in February of 2003,” Ellen said. “I thought, why me?” Her bilateral reconstruction failed on the right side, and after three surgeries she was at a low point. But a special nurse helped her through the worst of her ordeal, and her four sisters, all from Arkansas, traveled to Chicago to welcome her home from the hospital.

For the next nine years, Ellen made do with off-the-shelf breast forms. She hid behind loose tops, heavy jackets and scarves. “I had to apply the nipples separately and there was often a problem with slippage,” she said. “My breasts looked uneven, and I thought people were noticing.”

The chair of the Curriculum and Instruction Division of the School of Education at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff learned about ContourMed customized breast forms in early 2012. “I called and immediately set up an appointment for a scan at the ContourMed office,” Ellen said. “They were very customer-service focused and set up the scan around my schedule. Within a few weeks of my appointment, I had my ContourMed breast forms. I am totally in love with them – I just put them on and go.”

Ellen’s thousand-watt smile beams when she talks about her life today. She plays racquetball and shoots hoops with her younger son when he’s home from college. She even wore her ContourMed breast forms during a bath at a Hot Springs spa.

“I feel like myself again. I feel attractive,” Ellen said. “One of my students told me, ‘Something about you is different…you look brighter.’”
