AxillaPad is an optional comfort accessory for patients recovering with QualiBreath after open-heart surgery. Some patients may appreciate extra cushioning under the arms during recovery, especially when there is more friction or sensitivity in the area.
For patients who feel rubbing or pressure under the arms while wearing a chest support, AxillaPad can make day-to-day recovery more comfortable without changing how the main support works.
What AxillaPad helps you with
- Adds soft cushioning in the underarm area while wearing QualiBreath or other chest supports
- Helps reduce discomfort from pressure and friction during daily use
- Can be useful for patients with more sensitivity in the area
- Can support comfort when body shape or position creates more rubbing under the arms
- May be useful during longer periods in bed if the support is pushed upward toward the armpits

- Used together with QualiBreath during the recovery period
- Also compatible with QualiBra Advanced and other Qualiteam chest supports like Thor.

No. They are designed for use with compatible Qualiteam chest supports such as QualiBreath, QualiBra Advanced, and other thorax support products.
