A simple means for accurate breast volume determination.
The authors have developed a simple, accurate, and inexpensive device for measuring the volume of the female breast. The concept is based on an adjustable geometrical conical form into which the breast is placed. The breast volume is then easily read from a graduated scale on the device. The device is available in sterile prepackaged form for intraoperative use. The various applications and advantages are described.
