Carefix is a specialized brand of medical bras for postsurgical care, which are suitable for a number of oncological and aesthetic surgeries of the breast. The products are intended for the period immediately following specific breast surgeries (mastectomy, lumpectomy, breast augmentation and reduction, reconstruction, breast lifts, breast implant removal, and implant revision surgery) and in the course of radiation therapy. The bras have seamless knitting. Their innovative design combines a delicate fabric and a 4-way stretch that provides excellent fixation, stabilization, and support for relieving pain immediately after surgical interventions.

The Carefix brand follows the expertise of the Tytex company – a leading manufacturer of medical textile and postsurgical care products. The company has a well-developed distribution network worldwide, and all of its products comply with international medical, ecological, and corporate standards.

The Carefix products are available through the official distributor for Bulgaria, the digital store www.womancare.bg. Detailed descriptions, including each item’s advantages, are available on the website.

The clinical experience with the Carefix bras proves them to be an excellent solution for patients with lymphedema or lymphostasis in the area of the axilla or the posterior axial line. The lingerie exerts gentle compression in an area for which there is no suitable orthosis. It is also suited for the period following manual drainage in the area.

The bras also have a positive clinical effect after breast reconstruction surgeries because of their excellent compression, seamless design, and comfortable feel.

The models have adjustable straps and an option to select a buttoning style: a zipper, a Velcro strap, hooks, or loops. All the models have front buttoning.

Medical bras are chosen by patients who practice a sport after a mastectomy, a breast reconstruction, or a quadrantectomy due to their excellent fixation and the wide underband that encircles the chest.

Some models have small pockets for placing a prosthesis in patients with mastectomy.

Womancare assists in choosing the appropriate bra size. This is an essential element of selecting a postsurgical bra, as you wouldn’t want too harsh a compression or too much tightening in the surgical area.

So far, the clinical expertise shows exclusively positive results.
