Heart Hugger

Suffering won't help patients get better. Managing their pain will. After Cardiac or Thoracic surgery, pain happens, and there's no mystery about what causes it - stress on the surgical wound. Heart Hugger™ can help. When the handles are squeezed together, Heart Hugger circles the rib cage with uniform pressure. Because it is patient-operated, patients have full-time control over the pain that goes along with every uncomfortable movement. It also gives patients the confidence and independence to do the respiratory therapy and ambulatory exercises necessary for recovery. This keeps patients on track for recovery and helps prevent readmission. This, in turn, helps reduce readmission rates and increase patient recovery success for medical facilities. Heart Hugger and the Surgi-Support Vest™ for Women provide patients with full-time wound stability, support and pain control, in the hospital right after heart surgery and at home. They are replacing heart pillows provided after Cardiac and Thoracic surgery programs worldwide because of their proven results. Contact us to learn more about how Heart Hugger can help your patients!
