The Embrace is a compression garment designed to provide targeted support and compression to specific body areas. With its innovative design and targeted compression, the Embrace provides customizable support exactly where a person needs it most. Typically, the Embrace carrier is intended for use by adults and is recommended for individuals over 18 years.

How Does An Embrace Work?

The Embrace carrier provides targeted compression to the affected area, which helps reduce swelling and inflammation, improve blood flow, and support the healing process. The page is designed to be worn snugly against the body, providing a gentle but firm compression that helps to reduce pain and promote healing.

After surgery, the body’s natural response is to produce swelling and inflammation in the affected area. While this response is necessary to promote healing, it can also be uncomfortable and slow the healing process. By providing compression to the site, the Embrace carrier helps reduce this swelling and inflammation, improving comfort and speeding up the healing process.

The Embrace carrier is designed to be easy and comfortable, with adjustable straps and breathable, lightweight material. A healthcare provider typically prescribes it, and it can be used after various surgeries and injuries, including breast surgery, knee surgery, ankle injuries, and more. The Embrace carrier can help promote healing and reduce pain and discomfort during recovery by providing targeted compression to the affected area.

What Are The Available Embrace Carriers?

What Are The Pre-Operative Embrace Instructions?

Be sure to thoroughly read and understand the instructions with an Embrace before using it.
Wear loose-fitting clothing, a shirt that can easily fit over the head or be buttoned up the front, and comfortable pants.
Ensure the area where the Embrace will be worn is clean and dry before putting it on.
Do not wear jewelry, makeup, lotions, oils, or perfumes on the day of your surgery.
It is best to shower/bathe thoroughly on the morning of surgery.
Do not take aspirin or aspirin-based products for two weeks before surgery.
Do not take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory products for one week before surgery. If these are prescribed and are medically necessary, don’t hesitate to contact the health care provider for medical clearance.
Those minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Must have a ride home.

Through these steps, the incidence of complications from the surgery can be reduced. Infections can be reduced by keeping the dressings and wounds clean and dry. Bleeding can be reduced by not coughing, stooping, straining, or working.

Moreover, surgery is stressful and usually requires rest, relaxation, and good nourishment. For those using tobacco products, stop it before surgery and do not resume 3-4 weeks after surgery. If someone at home smokes, ask them to stop since second-hand smoke can inhibit healing as much as smoking firsthand.

What Are The Post-Operative Embrace Instructions?

If anesthetics are prescribed, do not drive while taking this drug for pain for 24 hours. Take medications as needed, not to exceed directions on the prescription. If rash, vomiting, or nausea persists, discontinue and call the healthcare provider.

Moreover, Tylenol and Ibuprofen can be dosed (if not contraindicated) in an alternating fashion to control most post-operative pain. In addition, the following aftercare instructions must be taken into consideration:

Drink plenty of fluids after the surgery and advance the diet as tolerated.
Avoid lifting more than 10 pounds for two weeks.
Leave dressings in place unless otherwise directed.
Do not shower for 24 hours.
Do not immerse the surgical site in water for four weeks.
Swelling and bruising can take 2-4 weeks to resolve, and mild swelling (worse in the morning) can persist for one year.
Some areas may have numbness and tingling for months. With time, the incisions will fade.
Protect new scars for six months.

Moreover, call the health care provider immediately for infection, flushed skin around the surgical site, fever, sudden increase in pain, bruising, or uncontrolled bleeding. Contact us today or book an appointment online to experience our services.
