Heart Hugger
As healthcare providers, it’s important to always be on the lookout for new ways to serve our patients. The Heart Hugger has been on the market since the late 80s, and since that time it has helped many patients during recovery from thoracic surgeries. After thoracic surgery, protecting the wound and managing pain are vital to a successful recovery. The Heart Hugger helps by applying encircling pressure around the chest, compressing the sternum and providing much-needed support. Heart Hugger was invented in the 80s after the founder of General Cardiac Technology, Glenn Williams, underwent cardiovascular bypass surgery. Post-surgery, Williams was shown pain management techniques using a pillow to splint sternotomy. But William discovered the pillow offered limited comfort and didn’t support him when he attempted to move or walk. He began to consider a new solution and eventually the Heart Hugger Sternum Support Harness was created.
