Underworks Post-Surgical Chest Binder

Regular price $32.00

Specially designed for post-surgical binding after top surgery, this Post Surgical Chest Binder has a velcro enclosure for ease of application and removal.

While many surgeons provide a post-surgical binder, this elasticized binder is great for anyone who needs one and anyone who'd like a spare binder on-hand after surgery.

While often marketed as an abdominal binder, this compression garment works great for anyone recovering from top surgery. The additional padding around the front of the binder makes this one of the most comfortable post surgical binders we've ever encountered.

To prevent the binder from slipping down when standing or walking, some surgeons have been known to safety pin cotton straps in place to sit over the shoulders.

I like the way this binder feels in general, however the reason I am giving 4 stars is the length is a problem. It rolls up at the bottom, which is rather annoying. If you wear the short style binder (by itself, without the tshirt attached), you might understand what I mean. My surgeon likes it as well.

So Worth It.

I'm reviewing a lot sooner than I normally would (I'm 2 days post-op), but I have to say that this is a very comfortable binder. I'm a pretty chunky guy (5'3-180lbs) but I bought the smaller binder (up to 45") and it's amazing. The way it sits is perfect for placing your drain clamps and the fabric doesn't fray easily nor does it roll up at all. It's nice and tight without restricting your breathing at all. I hate binding, so much so that I stopped fairly quickly after I started, it was just too uncomfortable, but this one is awesome. 10/10 would recommend.
