FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tender Fit offers women recovering from mastectomy, lumpectomy, reconstruction, augmentation, reduction, heart, chest and shoulder surgeries -- as well as the effects of lymphedema -- the most comfortable and supportive bras available to date.
Physical Therapist Assistant certified in lymphedema Kim Laguna founded Tender Fit after many years of helping women post-mastectomy. She discovered that some of the patients she treated after breast cancer surgery -- whether the surgery was recent or as long as 30-years ago -- were affected with lymphedema either on their arm, chest, back or axillary region.
Laguna says that her patients and other women in the community stated how extremely tight and uncomfortable their post-surgical bras were, which led to many irritations and in some cases swelling. Having nowhere to support their drain tubes was an issue which left patients in situations to either pin or devise a method of placement inside the bra.
Laguna says that being certified in lymphedema and understanding the lymphatic system gave her the insight to create a Post-Surgical Bra; a Mastectomy Bra Set and a Shirt with Built-in Bra that is properly designed to facilitate fluids, increase tissue healing and decrease risks of irritations.
Proprietary in design, made in the U.S.A. (patent pending), the bras are constructed of unique fabrics that offer gentle compression and expansion where needed. All styles are equipped with removable drain pockets.
The Post-Surgical Bra pre-surgery (cleared by the surgeon) gets donned during the procedure, thus allowing for a more comfortable recovery and proper healing. The Post-Surgical Bra and Mastectomy Bra set can be worn day and night.
Tender Fit’s products are available for purchase at www.tenderfit.com as well as several stores across South Florida.
Tender Fit supplies products to the Veterans Administration Hospitals through their partnership with Veterans Medical Supply, Inc., the sole source of these products for the VA Hospitals and their Women’s Clinics.
The Tender Fit website features an educational page that overviews the different types of post-surgical bras and how they benefit the healing and recovery processes. The site also features a testimonial page that provides encouragement from women who have used Tender Fit products.
