Pain After Open Heart Surgery

The Posthorax support vest reduces post-operative pain by providing external sternal stabilization


The Posthorax support vest reduces post-operative pain by providing external sternal stabilization that prevents painful micro-movements of the breastbone following open-heart surgery. It utilizes a specialized dual-pad system to deliver constant anteroposterior stability, absorbing force and shielding the healing wound from the sudden tension caused by coughing or moving. By mitigating these mechanical stresses, the vest reduces sharp incisional pain, supports an upright posture, and enables earlier patient mobilisation.



  • Reduced Mechanical Stress: Significantly mitigates tension on the sternotomy site, lowering complication rates in selected patient cohorts.

  • High Structural Integrity: Provides a secondary external binder that protects the chest bone from reopening - the most critical factor in preventing chest bone failures.


Proven Clinical Outcome

The use of an external thorax support vest has been rigorously evaluated in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The data reveals a consistent trend: substantial reductions in re-operation and readmission.
