Review on 💪 ORTONYX Sternum and Thorax Support Chest Brace for Broken Ribs and Open Heart Surgery Recovery – HB5251/Black/Large by Richard Gilbert

My husband had open heart surgery on 12/12/2019. His sternum never grew back. He constantly complains about friction, cracking and movement. I thought it would be perfect. The center front bar holds the sternum more securely. He does it. He is not a small person and I received size XXL. But he complains that he can't stand the bandage under his armpits. says it hurts My goal was to stabilize the sternum and I succeeded. He just can't stand the feeling of a bandage under his armpits. Even if he doesn't wear it, I still highly recommend it. He was supposed to be given something similar when he was sent home from the hospital, but was given a big, hard teddy bear to hold to his chest. If they used something like these braces he sure wouldn't be in the shape he is in now. Now he has stopped complaining so much because he is afraid I will insist he wear a corset for support.
