This heart surgery bear is firmly stuffed to be a cough support during heart surgery recovery. Developed with the help of cardiologists and critical care nurses to ease pain and discomfort when someone coughs, moves, sneezes, or laughs after surgery. 
 At 17 1/2" tall and dressed in hospital scrubs, each heart surgery bear is firmly stuffed to be a therepeutic pillow as it holds sternal wires and stitches in place. A sillhouette of a heartbeat line with heart and the phrase "KEEP CALM AND KEEP TICKING" in the middle come in a choice of black or white imprinting.
Originally created for supporting open-heart surgery patients, the heart surgery bear is also helpful for those recovering from heart bypass, thoracic surgery, Cesarean Sections, hernia repairs, or bariatric surgery.
