We've all likely heard it at least once it our lives: "All you need to focus on is getting better." It sounds so simple--but, in reality, "getting better" is actually a pretty big concept to focus on, especially after cardiac surgery. Rehabilitation requires lifestyle changes. It requires determination. It requires work. In order to recover from cardiac surgery, you often have to focus on things that we've all spent a lifetime taking for granted, like breathing, moving, eating, and sleeping. Even though "all you need to focus on is getting better," there's still a lot to do--but with a surgical support garment like a Postoperative Bra, you can mark a few things off the list.

As a healthcare provider, you know the importance of treating your patients and helping them stay out of the hospital. So as important as your care in the hospital is, it can be equally as important to provide your patients with sufficient recovery support and attention. When your patient has gone through sternum surgery, it can be especially daunting to think about recovery. Sternum surgery is incredibly invasive, leaving the patient with a long ways to go toward full recovery. By giving your patient a way of controlling their own recovery, you enable them to feel more confident about the entire process.

As a medical professional, you know just how important healing is. You also know that healing is a journey--and it can be helpful for your patients to have a little support along the way. That's exactly what Heart Hugger provides, both literally and metaphorically. Heart Hugger is a sternum stabilization garment that provides the support that patients need after surgery, and it is specially designed to offer extra support for the unique needs and goals of a woman's healing journey.

You have plenty of experience in the field of medicine and healing. You know the ins and outs, the ups and downs--and even though your patients trust you, they just can't see eye-to-eye with you on cardiac rehab, simply because they don't have the same specialized knowledge that you do. Bridging the gap between what you know and what your patients know is important, but sometimes it can be difficult when you're so focused on the healing process itself. That's why it's helpful to take a moment to review cardiac rehab from a patient's perspective.
