Abstract
Abstract An external prosthesis, (e.g. a mammary prosthesis) is removably attached to a user's body by means of a pad comprising an adhesive (e.g. Stomahesive (Registered Trade Mark)) wafer and one part of a releasable (e.g. Velcro (Registered Trade Mark) type) fastener. The prosthesis carries the other part of the fastener.
