GAMA Bra

As part of their senior design course, biomedical engineering students (from left) Anna Rodriguez, Maria Fernanda Larraga Martinez, Ashten Sherman, and Genevieve Goelz created the GAMA bra, a compression garment that can be worn by breast cancer patients after a unilateral mastectomy. The garment could help thousands of patients avoid painful swelling associated with lymphedema. Here, the team uses a filler substance to help give their modified mannequin a more lifelike feel in terms of weight and rigidity. Photo by Tim Schoon.
