POSTHORAX Inc.

Posthorax Inc. designs and manufactures clinically proven post-operative support devices for cardiothoracic and thoracic surgery patients. The company's flagship product, the Posthorax Sternum Vest, stabilizes the chest cavity and protects sternal wires during recovery, significantly reducing complications such as sternal dehiscence (sternum separation), infections, and re-operations. The vest features patented support cushions positioned parallel to the sternum with no direct contact to surgical wounds, an integrated breathe-stop mechanism to protect against sudden coughs or sneezes, and adjustable shoulder straps for proper fit. Clinical evidence from 12 large-scale trials involving over 12,000 patients demonstrates up to 72% reduction in life-threatening post-surgical complications. The ThoraxBelt provides complementary chest stabilization for thoracic recovery. Posthorax solutions are trusted by leading cardiothoracic centers across Europe, North America, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, and have received multiple awards including the 2009 Innovation Award from Vienna and the 2013 HSJ Efficiency in Medical Technology Award.
