Sternal Vest
Del Bianco Prosthetics and Orthotics is an exclusive provider of the SternalVest in North Carolina. James Del Bianco worked closely with the inventor/designer of the SternalVest, Joe Pongratz, in the early part of his career. This professional relationship has allowed Del Bianco P&O to bring this unique vest to North Carolina Hospitals. Please contact James Del Bianco for more information at the "Contact" link above.
The SternalVest was developed by Joseph Pongratz in close collaboration with heart and plastic surgeons. The vest is designed specifically for heart and thoracic procedures, especially when a sternotomy (surgical splitting of the sternum to access the heart and lungs during an operation) is performed. The vest increases patient comfort after open heart surgery and, more importantly, immobilizes and supports surrounding tissue. This tissue immobilization facilitates the healing process of the surgical suture line and helps prevent infections.
