The Shirl Bra is our top recommendation for heart surgery recovery. Featuring a double zipper that allows for adjustability in the front closure, it's perfect for accommodating changes in size as swelling decreases throughout your recovery. The patented double-zipper design makes it effortless to put on and take off when arm mobility is limited after cardiac procedures.

Heart surgery, particularly open-heart procedures and bypass operations, requires an incision through the sternum (breastbone). As your sternum heals over the following weeks and months, it needs stability and support. A heart surgery bra provides gentle compression that stabilizes the chest wall, protects your incision from friction and irritation, helps minimize post-surgical swelling, and distributes pressure evenly across the chest without restricting breathing. The front closure design is also essential since you won't be able to raise your arms overhead during early recovery.

The Shirl bra was specifically designed with heart surgery patients in mind. It features a double zipper front closure that makes dressing effortless when arm mobility is limited, adjustable compression that adapts as swelling decreases throughout your recovery, a wide front panel that provides stable support across the sternum incision site, and a racerback design that prevents straps from slipping off your shoulders. The breathable, moisture-wicking fabric keeps you comfortable without restricting your breathing—which is especially important as your lungs and chest heal.
