Carefix Postoperative Compression Bra Sophia

INDICATION
Medical device for postsurgical use after breast surgery;  specially designed for mastectomy. With pockets for Carefix Textile Breast Puffs (not included).

FUNCTION
Sophia is intended for post-surgical use after breast surgery, especially mastectomy.  

The main function of Sophia is to fixate and support both the treated and swollen breast as well as a potential healthy breast, assist a speedy wound healing, and provide optimum user comfort.  

DESIGN 
Sophia is designed as a vest and covers the entire treated area, including the armpits, to offer the best possible protection, compression and support, which speeds up the entire recovery period. As it is intended for mastectomy surgeries, Sophia has no cups. In case of a single breast surgery, the unique 4-way stretch material will adapt and support a healthy breast due to the superior expansion capability. This feature eliminates the need to stock both a left cup, right cup and no cup bra, as Sophia offers all 3 models in one bra. The 4-way stretch material will adapt and support the breasts through the entire recovery period. 

• Sophia is double layered to offer first class fixation, superior hold and support to both the treated and a potential healthy breast
• Bilateral pockets for insertion of textile breast puffs offer an excellent opportunity to create a breast shape, improving body image significantly until second surgery, or as long as the woman prefers to use it
• The wide shoulder straps provide optimum support to a treated as well as a potential healthy breast and ensure that no pressure marks or uncomfortable shoulder indentations will occur
• Sophia is mainly made of soft cotton, primarily to obtain skin friendliness and comfort, but also to get superior hold and support
• The bra is seamlessly knitted and has no seams in critical areas, i.a. on or around the cups, on the sides or the armpits like seen in most competitive bras
• For superior skin friendliness and comfort, the bra has a wide and soft under bust band that also allows easy and untroubled drainage
• Women, who have had breast surgery, often take on a protective posture for protection of the treated area

Sophia is designed with a high back to offer post-surgical posture correction.
