There are many surgeries that require the use of one or more surgical drains near the incisions. Although these surgical drains can be uncomfortable and inconvenient, they are important to the healing process. They were designed for a specific medical function and not for personal comfort. That is why we designed Surgi-Shorts. The shorts are available in 8 sizes and in the color White.
Benefits of Using Surgi-Shorts™
• Comfort – Surgi-Shorts™ are soft, cotton undergarments that can be comfortably worn beneath most clothing. The inside pockets hold the bulbs in place, eliminating the need for tape and allowing for more freedom of movement.
• Privacy – Surgi-Shorts™ inner pockets discreetly conceal tubes and bulbs, giving you assurance, whether at home or in public.
• Security – Surgi-Shorts™ ease the fear of disconnecting the tubes by providing secure pockets in which to place the bulbs.
In July 2006, I (Jackie Green) was diagnosed with breast cancer, and two weeks later I had a double mastectomy. I had my first experience with Jackson Pratt drains when I was sent home from the hospital with them TAPED to my abdomen. My initial fear was the possibility of accidentally pulling the tubes from my body. I then began a search to find a better way to secure the dangling bulbs. I was not successful. Surely there was a more convenient way than taping and un-taping the bulbs each time they needed to be drained. I was also at a loss as to how to secure and conceal the bulbs when going out in public. For these reasons, I had the idea to design what are now known as Surgi-Shorts™.
In the beginning, I created Surgi-Shorts™ for my own personal comfort and convenience. However, when I returned for additional surgery, my surgeon asked “What are you wearing?” After I explained the features and purpose of my design, she told me I should take my idea and develop it. Not only did she like my design, she approved of my wearing them into surgery, after which my bulbs were tucked neatly and securely in the pockets. My goal is to help make a difficult period a little more comfortable and convenient through the use of Surgi-Shorts™. Surgi-Shorts™ helped me manage my drains without assistance and gave me confidence to go out in public knowing my bulbs were discreetly secured. I want Surgi-Shorts™ to help others as much as they helped me.

I needed an inexpensive way to decorate my lakehouse and frockZ was the perfect accessory for my bedroom. Old lamps from the storage room look cool and updated!

Those frockZ rock! It's time to redecorate. Whoever thought of this is a genius. What an inexpensive way to change the look of any room. You can even change them every season for a different look. These are great.
