Suffering won't help patients get better. Managing their pain will. HEART HUGGERâ„¢ can help. After Cardiac or Thoracic surgery, pain is a fact of life, and there's no mystery about what causes it - stress on the surgical wound. When the handles are squeezed together Heart Huggerâ„¢ circles the rib cage with uniform pressure. Because it is patient operated, it gives patients full-time control over the pain that goes along with every uncomfortable movement and gives them the confidence and independence to do the respiratory therapy and ambulatory exercises necessary for recovery. Heart Huggerâ„¢ and Surgi-Support Vestâ„¢ for Women provide patients with full-time wound stability, support and pain control, in the hospital and at home. That's why they are part of many Cardiac and Thoracic surgery programs worldwide. They help keep patients on the clinical pathway to recovery.
