ABSTRACT:
A surgical brassiere for reducing stress along a mid-sternal incisional line of a female patient following cardio-thoracic surgery includes a pair of bust support cups positioned over the breasts of the patient so as to form an exposed gap over the area of the patient's sternum. A ventilated panel is secured over the gap to provide protection to the mid-sternal incision and can be unsecured as required for purposes of routine examination or nursing care. A pair of inner straps, detachably secured across the gap between the bust support cups, assure that support continues to be provided while the ventilated panel is thus unsecured. To increase patient comfort, the brassiere further includes relatively wide, padded shoulder straps, and a flexible backstrap assembly, including a pair of criss-crossed flexible elastic straps provides additional support to further promote post-operative recovery.
