 Introducing Noa™
Designed for comfort and support
after breast surgery

The appropriate care after surgery may be as important as the

surgery itself.2

Clinical studies show that compression aids the body’s healing process,
reducing post-surgical complications, and helping to optimise results
after surgery.2

No matter the type of breast surgery, operated breasts will need

• Protection
• Fixation
• Stabilization
• Support
• Comfort

for optimal and speedy healing.2,3,4

Targeted Compression3
Designed with integrated and specifically targeted support and compression zones.
The zones consist of differentiated knitting structures, ranging from loose to firm.
Each individual zone is placed to target and accommodate medical requirements for
the best surgical result and the most comfortable recovery period. By differentiating
FRONT the compression and support zones, the healing process is promoted, and patient
comfort increased as the compression and support on the treated site become
targeted.

4-way stretch3
Rating 1- 6, where 1 is the highest
4-way stretch means that the material in the bra will adjust naturally along with the
patient’s changing body contours after surgery.
As swelling and de-swelling are the body’s natural reaction to surgery, it allows our
bras to work with the body of the patient, ensuring superior fit throughout the entire
recovery period.
It will naturally provide optimal and constant compression over the wound area
while still being very soft and comfortable to wear.

Seam-less knitting3
Noa bra’s have no seams in the cups, the sides, on the back and on the under bust
band. This provides maximum skin friendliness and prevents pressure marks, as well
as general irritation of skin, wound and tissue.
In other words: 100% seamless knitting means less scarring and higher patient
comfort.

Fact-based sizing3
BACK Our size concept is based on statistical and proven body scans and measurements
(known as body knowledge) and is closely related to our 4-way stretch material.
Our 4-way stretch and size concept enable the bra to fit multiple sizes which is not
1 2 3 4 5 6 the case with bras made of more numb (non-expansive) material.

Rating 1- 6, where 1 is the highest Noa post-op bras reduce post-surgical complications and fulfil the postoperative
requirements on patient comfort and compliance.3
