ABSTRACT:
A post-operative pillow includes a weight and means to removably secure the weight to the pillow, the function of the weight being to assist in the application of pressure to a localized area of the patient's body, for example to the chest area following open-heart surgery. In the preferred embodiment, the means to removably secure the weight to the pad includes a pocket formed on an outer portion of the pillow, with the weight being frictionally retained within the pocket. The weight is preferably in the form of an elongated washable pouch filled with a heavy material such as lead shot.
