How does the shower lanyard for mastectomy help during recovery?
A mastectomy drain lanyard keeps your surgical drains out of the way in the shower, minimizing the risk of painful tugging. It also reduces the risk of pain that would come from dangling, and can also hold them in place when changing and dressing up.
