HEART or THORACIC SURGERY

Heart and thoracic surgeries require a front fastening non-restrictive stretch bra for the post-operative phase. Comfort and pain management with the use of a post-surgical device is very important for the recovery of a patient who has been through heart or lung surgery.

Front fastening is essential for ease of application in particular for heart surgical indications. Reco Bra® helps to keep breasts together and reduce their movement, helping to avoid the reopening of any surgical wounds. The application of our Bi-Ome Medical® to our Reco Bra® can help reduce bacterias.
