Unisex Open Heart Bundle
What is Open Heart Surgery?
Open heart surgeries treat heart problems including: heart failure, congenital heart defects, arrhythmias, aneurysms and coronary artery disease. During the procedure, a surgeon cuts through the breastbone and spreads the ribcage to access the heart.
Open heart surgery is a procedure that requires the patient to be connected to a heart-lung bypass machine, or bypass pump during surgery. The patient’s heart is stopped while they are connected to the machine, which does the work of the heart and lungs while your heart is stopped for the surgery.
Open Heart Surgery Recovery Experience
Open heart surgery recovery can vary person to person. Typically, it will take 6 to 12 weeks (and sometimes longer) to recover from an Open Heart procedure.
When you have open heart surgery, taking care of yourself or of a spouse/significant other/friend/ family member can be stressful on everyone. During this time, you or you loved one will likely experience:

- localized pain at incisions
- swelling
- bruising
- general discomfort
- hot flashes
- reduced mobility & independence
Our products help manage the drains and reduce your pain, helping you feel calm, secure, and in control as you recover.
