Abstract: A padded shoulder carrier for transferring a load to a carrying person's (T) shoulder has a carrier strap (4) and a padded part (5) which has a first lateral region (6) arranged between the carrier strap (4) and the shoulder and a second lateral region (7) arranged between the carrier strap (4) and the carrying person's (T) neck, at least part of the carrier strap (4) being connected to a part of the first lateral region (6) in such a manner that the carrier strap (4) and the padded part (5), in the parts which are connected to one another, together have an elasticity in the longitudinal direction of the carrier which is lower than the elasticity of the second lateral region (7) of the padded part (5) in the longitudinal direction of the carrier.

Abstract: A breast prosthesis worn in a brassiere or the like. It has a prosthesis y having a front side in the shape of a natural breast, a back side with a recess and a prosthesis edge which follows a closed line on which the front side and the back side both end. The prosthesis body has a soft elastic silicone rubber compound which is enclosed without any voids in a bag consisting of two elastically expandable plastic films joined tightly together along the edge of the prosthesis. When the wearer is lying down, the prosthesis should assume a stretched form, where the front side is flattened slightly. When the wearer stands upright, the upper part should sag downward slightly, with the lower and middle areas of the front side having a somewhat greater bulge.

Abstract: The invention relates to a breast prosthesis for breast-amputated women with a flexible plastic body (1) comprising two plastic sheets (2, 3) connected to each other along their common edge (23) and a plastic mass (4) enclosed between the two plastic sheets (2, 3), wherein the plastic body (1) has a front side (21) formed to resemble the contour of the natural breast and a back side (31) capable of facing the torso of the person, and an elastically deformeable thin part (6) secured with its edge (611) to the back side (31) of the plastic body (1). In order to improve the wear comfort of the breast prosthesis, the thin part (6) is secured to the plastic body (1) inside the common edge (23) of the connected plastic sheets (2, 3).
