Pain
​
Less pain
While using the SternaSafe during breathing exercises, the patient has less fear and less pain. Because of this, better post surgical results are achieved.
​
Coughing
SternaSafe gives good support and pressure around the thorax while coughing. It therefore protects against the "gap" movement and enhances the ventilation of the lower lung fields.
​
Mobilisation
SternaSafe has a supporting effect on the thorax during straining movements while mobilising. The patient is mostly able to operate the SternaSafe him- or herself, so that the mobilisation process progresses more quickly.
​
​
​
SternaSafe for which patients?
Depending of the hospital strategy SternaSafe can be given to every patient after sternotomy and especially to risk patients such as smokers, obese patients, coughers and patients with diabetic.
