Calling all cardiac surgery care teams! 🫀

Great post-op care takes more than good surgical technique. It takes tools that help patients heal safely and comfortably, and that fit into your existing workflow.

Heart Hugger is an FDA Class I, Medicare-approved device that:

✔️ Provides external sternal support during the critical healing period
✔️ Acts as a respiratory splint for coughing, deep breathing, and early movement
✔️ Gives patients an easy way to manage their own comfort
✔️ Fits into existing post-op protocols without extensive training

Pain after surgery is common, but opioid medication isn't the only tool for managing it. 💙

Our newest blog covers 7 evidence-based options that can work alongside your care plan:

🫀 Support devices designed for cardiac surgery recovery

Every recovery is different, so talk with your surgeon and care team about building a plan that fits your procedure and your needs. Starting that conversation before surgery can make a real difference.

The first 4-6 weeks after open-heart surgery are the most important part of recovery. 💙

Studies cited in our latest article show that roughly 10-20% of cardiac surgery patients are readmitted within 30 days, and most of those first readmissions happen in that early window. Protecting your healing breastbone during that time matters.

Instead of feeling stuck with restrictions, patients can use an external support harness to steady their chest when they cough, sneeze, or shift position. Feeling safe and in control can make recovery feel a lot more manageable.

Winter is coming, and if you or a loved one is recovering from heart surgery, cold weather brings some extra things to think about. 🧣

Cold air can irritate healing lungs, dry indoor heat can bother your airways, and a single cough or sneeze can put stress on your chest incision. A few simple adjustments can help:

✔️ Loosely wrap a scarf over your nose and mouth before heading outside
✔️ Keep indoor humidity between 30-50%
✔️ Dress in loose layers that are easy to adjust
✔️ Swap icy sidewalks for an indoor walking routine

Our latest blog covers these tips and how the right support can keep you comfortable and confident through the colder months. Always check with your cardiac rehab team about what's right for you.
