Open Heart Thoracic Surgery & Rib Fracture Support Brace
Adjustable, breathable materials (wear under/over clothes)
Designed for long periods of wear during recovery.

This vest is called a Posthorax Support Vest. Your breastbone (sternum) will be split during your operation and held together with steel wires. The wires are very strong, but the vest offers extra support to keep your sternum stable and keeps the 2 sides from rubbing together as the bone heals.
Your sternum will be completely healed in about 6 to 8 weeks. You should wear the vest every day during the healing process. Keep the vest on all the time, except when you shower.

Not exactly as shown in picture
Not all patients are prescribed a Posthorax vest. If you have questions or would like to discuss the use of the vest, please speak to your surgery team.
