Product Description

SRC Rehab is designed with anti-chafing fabric to speed up post surgical recovery by facilitating would healing whilst providing pain relief.

SRC Rehab garments provide continuous gentle compression to a wound post-surgery which assists in reducing pain¹ for:

Lower back surgery
Gynaecological procedures including vaginal repairs, pelvic floor/prolapse surgeries, and hysterectomies
Spinal surgery
Abdominal surgeries such as tummy tucks, hernia repairs, abdominoplasties, and appendectomies

84% of our test subjects said the SRC Rehab compression garments were very effective at decreasing wound pain and 70% required less pain medication while wearing.²

HOW THEY WORK

Anatomical Support Panels (ASP) developed and patented by SRC Health deliver targeted compression. This can be ideal for wound healing and treating multiple conditions such as recovery from abdominal and back surgeries, gynaecological procedures and back pain, as well as reducing the risk of DVT by improving mobility.

The unique SRC fabric technology promotes muscle activation by providing continuous gentle compression to the pelvis, back and abdominal muscles.³ Activation of muscle provides greater stability to a wound while it is healing.³

Early mobility following surgery is deemed crucial, since postoperative immobilisation is widely held to contribute to cardiovascular instability,⁴ thromboembolic complications,⁵ and catabolism,⁴ in addition to pulmonary morbidity.⁶ Wound compression after major abdominal surgery can enhance the speed of postoperative recovery of walk performance.⁷

The garments also assist with swelling reduction. Feeling like a second skin and without being tight, the gentle compression increases the pressure in the tissue under the skin. This reduces swelling by moving the excess fluid that builds up around the wound back into the deeper venous blood vessels and back to the heart. Increasing venous and lymphatic drainage from around a wound allows for nutrient rich oxygenated blood to infiltrate the tissue allowing for faster healing.⁸

The ASP deliver True Cross Compression (TCC) as each layer within the panel is cut on a different plane so that during activity no compression is lost at any time.

The research and development of our fabric was extensive as we wanted to ensure that it provided support and comfort with no feeling of restriction.

Our uniquely milled fabric goes through rigorous independent testing to ensure that it is of the highest quality and can stretch and return to its original shape consistently after wash and wear to provide you with optimal performance and a longer lasting garment.

To make sure we deliver this we decided to test our fabric against one of the leading compression brands in the marketplace to assess whether the compression properties were sustained after multiple washes and how this compared to the other brand.

We subjected the fabric to 100 wash cycles followed by an extension test. Our fabric not only retained its original size and shape (against the competitor which shrunk significantly) but also retained the same high level of compression at the conclusion of testing.

SIZING AND MEASUREMENTS

FREQUENTY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. How do I care for my SRC Rehab?

Q. WHY SHOULD I WEAR SRC REHAB SHORTS POST OPERATIVELY?

Your body in the first weeks after any operation is likely to be bruised, inflamed and maybe holding fluid. Research has shown that providing support to a wound or a swollen area reduces swelling and pain therefore aiding healing. Compression in the SRC Rehab garment provides you with greater core stability allowing you to mobilize more readily as they support your upper and lower abdominal muscles, any wounds and the perineum.

Q. HOW DO I WORK OUT MY SIZE?

Q. I'M RIGHT IN BETWEEN 2 SIZES, WHICH DO I CHOOSE?

With the SRC Rehab Shorts, when you are between sizes, we recommend that you select the size down to achieve the optimal fit.

Q. WHY DOES THE GARMENT EXTEND TO THE BRA LINE?

The top component of your SRC Rehab Shorts is tailored to provide you with support for any upper abdominal wounds post-surgery.

Q. WHEN SHOULD I ORDER MY SRC REHAB SHORTS?

To ensure you have your shorts in your hospital bag we suggest ordering approximately 4 weeks prior to your operation / procedure date. In the case of a hernia repair, the SRC Rehab garment will help support the hernia itself so wearing the garment as soon as you have been diagnosed and before the hernia operation is ideal.

Q. WHEN SHOULD I START TO WEAR MY SRC REHAB SHORTS?

Begin wearing your SRC Rehab Shorts as soon as you feel comfortable. For best results our research indicates to start wearing them within the first two days post-surgery / operation. In the case of hernia repair, the SRC Rehab garment will help support the hernia itself so wearing the garment as soon as you have been diagnosed and before the hernia operation is ideal.

Q. SHOULD MY SRC REHAB SHORTS FEEL TIGHT?

No, they should feel supportive without any feeling of restriction.

Q. HOW MANY HOURS A DAY SHOULD I WEAR MY SRC REHAB SHORTS

You should wear your SRC Rehab Shorts for as many hours as they feel comfortable. Your shorts can be worn both day and night.

Q. HOW MANY WEEKS SHOULD I WEAR MY SRC REHAB SHORTS FOR?

Your SRC Rehab Shorts have been designed for use in the first 10-12 weeks after your procedure but can be worn for as long as they provide benefit.

Q. ARE SRC HEALTH PRODUCTS CHEMICALLY TREATED?

SRC Health uses no chemical treatments in any of our products.

Recovery shorts high waisted

I think the high waisted shorts are great. The only thing is a real struggle to get them on but once on great. Hopefully as I recover from my surgery it’ll get easier.
