OPTIMIZING RECOVERY & PROTECTING OUTCOMES
Increased Patient Safety
Lack of strength and reduced alertness can be challenging factors during the process of patient recovery and rehabilitation. Worn around the clock for the duration of the bone healing process, the Posthorax sternum support vest protects the wound and fracture at all times.
Effective Sternal Protection
Ergonomically shaped support cushions are placed parallel on each side of the wound, covering the entire length of the sternum. There is no contact with the wound itself. A plastic buckle closure on top and Velcro strip on the bottom allow fast and easy wound access for care personnel.
Protecting Brittle Bones
Brittle bones due to age and osteoprosis pose an increased risk for wires cutting into the bone and causing the need for re-operation. The stability provided by Posthorax protects the healing bone tissues from sudden motions , preventing the wires from cutting or breaking.
