Special Bra To Ease Recovery of Women After Sternotomy

A clinical trial headed by a researcher from the University of Calgary has supported the use of a special bra from women who undergo heart surgery. The unique bra doesn’t have any metal clasps that might interfere with the X-rays and offers more compression that can be adjusted appropriately to the changing breast sizes that happens sometimes after the heart surgery. The special bra will ease the women from the sufferings after the sternotomy. Dr. Kathryn King, an Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research Population Health Investigator said: Women who wore the bra after surgery had a great deal less pain and discomfort in their breasts – such as numbness, tingling or shooting sensations – than those in the control group.
