Heart Surgery Bras

You deserve comfort and support in your recovery from heart surgery. Our heart surgery bras are the direct result of a personal experience following our mother's challenging surgery recovery.

A heart surgery bra, also known as a cardiac bra, has many benefits during recovery. Our bras provide crucial support to the chest after open heart surgery or bypass operations, helping to stabilize the sternum as it heals while protecting incisions. Specialized compression also minimizes post-surgical swelling. Adjustable features, premium fabrics, and front closures make for easy wearing without raising the arms.

Adjustability

Wide Band

Wide, flat band prevents rolling or twisting

No Itch Design

Seamless tag means no itching

Sporty yet practical racerback design keeps straps from falling
