Post Surgery Camisole

There are a number of post-surgery camisoles and shirts on the market that you can easily find on the web through search engines that are in the price range of $30 and up.

A number of patients have shared their solutions about using a fanny pack or belt to store drains but if you have had a surgery using admoninal tissue, that might not be a good options due to tenderness at the site.

Another new option on the market is Pink Pocket patient pockets - they are self-adhesive, peen N stick cotton flannel fabric instant pockets that you can attach to the inside of your pj's, hospital gown, button down shirt. Peel and restick or wash the garment with the pockets - they can be removed when the drains are gone. Packages come in 5 pairs (recommended for mastectomy patients who typically have drains longer) for $19.99 or 3 pairs for $13.99. Patients love them because they are versatile and can be positioned anywhere (so if you have had a reconstruction with abdominal tissue) or tummy tuck, the drains don't have to be attached around your waist, which may be very uncomfortable. www.pink-pockets.com to order or for more information.

The other low-tech solution is to safety pin the drains to you clothing but the above discussion will hopefully provide some ther alternatives for patient comfort. Be well in recovery!

A post surgery camisole is a garment that has pouches or pockets that are designed to hold the JP drains after surgery. The camisole also comes with two soft puffs (that patients that are having tissue expanders can use for breast forms during their expansion.) They look like a tee shirt! If anyone wants to see a photo of them they can google Amoena and their website explains them well.
