We have used a chest binder on a patient with unstable sternum post-op
CABG's, this was for total support of the sternum as opposed to a "Heart
Hugger" which is tightened for coughing.
The supplier we used was Promedics LTD
Moorgate Street
Millhill
Blackburn
` Lancashire
BB2 4PB
Tel; 01254 619000
Hope this helps
