  • Binders designed to encircle the thorax to provide support and keep the women patient\'s breasts in the appropriate position. These devices are usually made of wide pieces of elastic fabric with hook-and-loop closures (e.g., Velcro) or metal fasteners with small teeth that grab onto and secure the elastic fabric for adjustment of the size of the binders; the binders are available in several sizes. Breast binders are used to support and compress the breasts and/or other associated anatomical structures for rehabilitation after surgery (e.g., cardiothoracic surgery); they may also provide relief from pain and strain.
