A compression garment for use after cardiothoracic surgery, comprising a body panel configured to lie in proximity to an upper region of a patient and formed from a compression material, and including a front side adjacent to a front upper region of the wearer, and a rear side configured to lie adjacent to a rear upper region of the patient. Further included is a shoulder strap associated with the rear side of the body panel and configured to extend away from the rear side and configured to removably associate with the front side of the body panel, the shoulder strap is adjustable to adjust the extension of the shoulder strap. The garment also includes a pillow formed in the front side, the pillow having a generally oblong shape and sized to project inwardly towards the patient, the pillow configured to apply pressure to the sternal area.

Pivotably connected upper and lower cushions may be sized and shaped to protect chest and lower abdomen areas of a patient, respectively. The cushion structure may be held against the chest and/or abdomen areas of a patient by a combination of an adjustable and disconnectable neck strap attached to an upper portion of the upper cushion, and an adjustable length and resilient strap, such as an elastic belt binder, which may be positioned around the user's waist and the upper cushion. The lower cushion may pivotably move with the patient's legs, allowing the cushion structure to be comfortably used when moving between standing and seated positions, and providing improved protection from automotive seat belts. Pockets may be provided for positioning ice packs proximate the patient's body and for inconspicuously placing a negative-pressure wound therapy vacuum pump or other items.

A unitary garment body having a front abdominal portion interposed between two arm openings and the two leg openings of the garment, of an elastic-based polymer material, with an inner surface, defining at least one pocket interposed between outer and inner surfaces of the front abdominal portion and configured to enclose and define a pocket cavity shaped and sized to receive a thermal pack, and with a plurality of front pressure protrusions on the pocket and each projecting inwardly from the inner surface toward the abdomen cavity, disposed in a tightly spaced configuration, each having a rounded tip, and each having a width ranging from 1-2 mm and a height relative to the inner surface of the front abdominal portion ranging from 0.2-0.5 mm and having a rear back portion interposed also of an elastic-based polymer material opposing the front abdominal portion.

A post-partum undergarment system including a brief having a pad and a compression member with a first-wing and a second-wing. The pad is integral to the brief and disposed on an inner layer of the brief in an interspace between the leg holes. The first-wing and the second-wing are configured to wrap around an abdominal region of a woman and secure the compression member in a wrapped-condition. The compression member causes direct compression to the abdominal region of the woman when the brief is worn. The brief is absorbent and disposable for use in postpartum stages.

An orthopedic device is arranged for scapulothoracic stabilization, inclusive of features for biomechanical stabilization of the shoulder, scapula and spine, treated alone or in combination with assembly features for supporting an arm or shoulder. The orthopedic device may be arranged in a garment or shoulder harness such that either may include first and second strap systems for extending over first and second shoulders of a user, respectively, and each of the first and second strap systems forms a Figure 9 shape about the respective shoulder, with a strap section arranged to extend toward a waist stabilizer that may form part of the orthopedic device.
