QualiBra Advanced is a sternum and chest brace developed specifically for women with larger-sized breasts. It helps patients undergoing open-heart surgery to recover more quickly and avoid complications. The device ensures constant pain relief by preventing strain from breast tissue on the wound and supporting tender ribs and muscles, while also stabilizing the sternum. Moreover, it provides additional chest support whenever necessary throughout the recovery period.
