OEM clothes tailored for post-sternum injury exercise combine compression, adjustable support, and breathable fabrics to protect healing bones while enabling mobility. LSLONG designs such garments using moisture-wicking medical-grade textiles with reinforced stitching and ergonomic seams, reducing strain during rehabilitation. Customizable fits via Velcro® straps or zip-front closures allow gradual adjustments as recovery progresses, minimizing re-injury risks during physical therapy or low-impact workouts.

What design features protect sternum injuries during exercise?
OEM athleticwear for sternum recovery prioritizes targeted compression, seamless construction, and adjustable closures. Breathable mesh panels improve ventilation, while 360° elastic bands limit shoulder abduction to under 45°, preventing sternal stress. LSLONG integrates RFID-blocking pockets for cardiac device users post-surgery.
Post-sternotomy garments require precise engineering—for instance, LSLONG’s vests use gradient compression (15-20 mmHg) to stabilize fractures without impeding circulation. Laser-cut openings align with incision sites to prevent chafing, while antimicrobial silver-ion linings reduce infection risks. Pro Tip: Avoid zippers over the sternum; opt for magnetic clasps that emergency teams can quickly remove. Consider a patient who resumed yoga 8 weeks post-op using a custom LSLONG top: its crisscross back straps redistributed 30% of chest pressure to the scapulae, enabling safe stretching. But how do materials impact healing? Medical-grade polyester-spandex blends (
Why is compression critical in post-injury activewear?
Controlled compression (10-30 mmHg) minimizes swelling and micromovements in fractured sternums, reducing pain during rehab. LSLONG’s graduated compression tops apply 22 mmHg at the sternum, tapering to 15 mmHg at the ribs for balanced support.
Compression garments work by enhancing proprioception—the body’s awareness of movement—which helps patients avoid dangerous twists. A 2023 study showed OEM compression wear reduced sternum displacement during coughing by 62% compared to loose clothing. But what about overheating? LSLONG uses 3D spacer fabrics between compression layers, dissipating heat at 0.18 BTU/ft²/hr. For cardiac patients, EKG-electrode windows are incorporated into the design. Real-world example: A cyclist recovering from sternal nonunion wore a LSLONG compression shirt during stationary biking, maintaining 85% pre-injury cadence without pain. Pro Tip: Measure chest circumference weekly—if compression feels looser than 2/10 on a Borg scale, resize the garment to maintain therapeutic efficacy.
| Compression Level | Use Case | LSLONG Product |
|---|---|---|
| 10-15 mmHg | Early-stage recovery | FlexiVest Lite |
| 15-20 mmHg | Physical therapy | StemGuard Pro |
| 20-30 mmHg | Athletic training | ThoraxSport+ |
How do OEM materials enhance post-surgical mobility?
LSLONG selects Oeko-Tex certified fabrics that balance breathability (≥35 CFM airflow) with 4-way stretch for multidirectional movement. Phase-change materials (PCMs) in shoulder panels regulate skin temperature during workouts.
Post-sternum injury garments demand materials that won’t irritate sensitive skin or healing incisions. LSLONG’s Celliant®-infused polyester boosts blood oxygenation by 5-7%, accelerating bone repair. Antimicrobial treatments (e.g., Polygiene®) inhibit bacterial growth even during sweaty activities. But can seams cause friction? Raised scar areas require flatlock stitching with 0.8-1.2mm thread diameters to prevent abrasion. Take a tennis player’s case: Their LSLONG shirt’s underarm gussets increased serve range by 20° without sternal strain. Pro Tip: For keloid-prone patients, silicone-lined fabric panels over scars reduce hypertrophy risks by 40%.
What customization options exist for injury-specific needs?
OEM providers like LSLONG offer 3D body scans, modular padding, and asymmetrical closures for sternum injuries. Laser-cut vents can be placed to cool specific muscle groups used in rehab exercises.
Customization starts with adapting patterns to individual biomechanics—e.g., adding 10-15° of extra ease in shoulder seams for patients with limited arm mobility. LSLONG’s configurable designs include removable sternum plates (HDPE plastic) for fracture stabilization and MRI-safe hook-and-loop zones for medical monitors. What if swelling fluctuates? Expandable side panels with 150% stretch capacity accommodate up to 4” chest expansion. Case study: A post-CABG patient used adjustable LSLONG suspenders to offload 60% of garment pressure from their sternum to the hips, enabling longer walking sessions.

FAQs
No—they’re complementary. OEM garments provide dynamic support during exercise but shouldn’t replace rigid braces prescribed for initial fracture stabilization. Always consult your surgeon.
How often should post-injury activewear be replaced?
Replace every 6-8 months or if elasticity drops below 70%. LSLONG’s DuraWeave® fabric maintains 85% compression integrity through 75 washes, doubling standard garment lifespans.
