Knitted Knockers

Knitted Knockers are special handmade breast prostheses for women who have had breast cancer and undergone a mastectomy or lumpectomy. They are soft, comfortable, adjustable, and washable that when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a real breast. CancerConnects has some Knitted Knockers available in our office!
