A passive stent for retaining an organ in an expanded state configured to adhere and substantially conform to an external surface of the organ may include an inner layer, an outer layer, and a middle layer that is enclosed by the inner layer and the outer layer, comprising a plurality of components configured to interlock and maintain the organ in an expanded state upon application of a vacuum. A method for retaining an organ in an expanded state may include applying at least one force to the organ to place the organ in the expanded state; applying a passive stent to an external surface of the organ; and applying a vacuum to the passive stent sufficient to cause a plurality of components of at least one layer of the passive stent to interlock, where the at least one layer is configured to maintain the organ in the expanded state after interlocking.

A wearable garment for recovery of a wearer after the wearer has undergone a surgical procedure, the wearable garment having an outer shell including at least a back panel and two front panels that, when the wearable garment is worn about a wearer, have outer edges that are adjacent to each other, a fastening system for securing the outer edges of the front panels together, thereby securing the wearable garment about the wearer, a compression region that provides a compressive force about the wearer; straps that hold the wearable garment about the wearer, and a tubing pocket attached to an inner surface of a respective one of the front panels for holding a drain tube in a coiled configuration against the wearer.

A thoracic lumbar sacral orthosis attachment for configuring an orthopedic device as a thoracic lumbar sacral orthosis by connecting the attachment to the orthopedic device. The attachment has an anterior aspect including an anterior panel arranged to connect to an orthopedic device. An anterior thoracic extension (ATE) is securable to the anterior panel, and a support bar extends from the ATE. A strap system includes an axillary strap system and/or a shoulder strap system removably securing onto a surface of the orthopedic device, and/or the ATE.

An apparatus, system, and method for detecting abdominal wall relaxation. The apparatus receives a first set of data from one or more biosensors configured to measure physiological data of a user. The apparatus detects an abdominal wall relaxation indicating bloating or distention based on second data from the one or more biosensors. The apparatus provides an alert to the user in response to the abdominal wall relaxation.
