Why the Resilience Bra

Key Features

The Resilience Bra supports patients through every stage of cardiac surgery recovery — from the earliest days after open-heart surgery, sternotomy, or thoracotomy through the months of healing that follow. Our front zipper closure delivers a secure, hug-like feel — support that stays with you through every stage of healing. Adjustable shoulder straps help support better posture and reduce strain on a healing sternum, while our wide back support panel promotes proper alignment and positioning as your body recovers.
