Abstract
The present invention provides a post-surgical, drainage accomodating, compression dressing and garment intended to be worn by a man or woman after chest wall surgery to cover and compress at least one surgical incision site on the upper torso. The dressing is formed at least in part by deformable elastomeric material for the generation of compression forces over the surgical incision and over the surrounding upper torso areas. This improved garment provides for the presence of a surgical drain for the collection of fluids, the drain extending from the surgical incision site into the external ambient environment; and can also provide a support for a drainage collection bulb which is often present as part of the surgical drainage system.
