The importance of support zones in post-operative bras

It is known that targeted compression of the wound and post-operative swelling tissue improves the post-operative healing process, reduces the risk of infection and helps to create a more beautiful scar.

Tytex post-operative bras are designed to provide the compression and support you need, exactly where you need it. This is achieved by so-called targeted compression zones woven into the products.

These zones are specifically designed for each product based on medical indications. By providing targeted compression and support, these bras fix and support the breasts after surgery. In addition, they also create optimal conditions for wound healing and pain relief, which in turn increases comfort and faster recovery.

Based on our experience and medical expertise in this field, we know exactly when compression and support are needed.

In addition, there are compression and support zones on the sides and back of the bras to provide support and improve posture, reducing post-operative neck, shoulder and back pain without reducing mobility.

This know-how is used every time a new bra is developed.

Carefix bras contain different weave structures.

Each bra has its own completely unique weave structures. Different colours are used to illustrate them. Colours with the numbers 1 to 6 indicate the flexibility of the fabric, i.e. the ability of the woven structure to compress and support:

• The smaller the number, the less flexibility there is in the weave structure. As a result, the pressure zones of the bra are strong and stable when needed. In short – a strong weave structure is compression.

• The higher the number, the more flexible the weave structure, allowing the fabric to provide the support and freedom of movement needed, i.e. a looser weave structure for support and flexibility.

Between the strong weave structures and the loose weave structures are the so-called transition weave structures. They are an essential part of any bra to increase comfort and create a smooth body profile.

The technology and illustrations of the weave structure are called Tytex Zonetch. ®.

The different support zones are also called compression and support zones:

Note that the colour of the zone on one bra is not necessarily the same as the colour of the zone on another bra, as the weave structure of the same colour zone may vary between different bras.

Each bra has its own ZoneTech ® drawing and description. Below is an example of Mary’s bra drawing. Similar graphics are available for each individual bra.

Tested performance.

The weave structure of the different compression and support zones is always determined by the surgeons’ and nurses’ preferences and recommendations, as well as the location of the zone and the size of each zone.

All compression and support zones of Carefix bras have been tested on patients who can use each bra. This means that each bra is tested for indications, medical performance and wearing comfort. All in all, this means that the suture structure, all the compression and support zone locations and their sizes are carefully selected based on the recommendations and preferences of surgeons, nurses and end-users.

An excellent blend of compression and support zones, together with specific uses and recommendations from medical professionals and users, make each bra unique.
