Recovery after top surgery or a mastectomy is a deeply personal journey that requires both care and comfort. At UNTAG, we understand how important it is to support your body as it heals. That’s why we designed our Medical Binder Band and Medical Binder, two medically approved, adjustable garments created to help you feel secure and supported throughout your post-op period.
Why Use a Post-Op Binder?
After a mastectomy or top surgery, your body needs gentle, consistent compression to reduce swelling and help scars heal properly. A good post-op binder promotes circulation, stabilizes tissue, and minimizes the risk of oedema (fluid build-up under the skin). Beyond physical healing, wearing a supportive binder can also bring a sense of comfort and reassurance during this recovery stage.
Our medical binders are designed to meet these needs, responsibly made in Europe and developed with both medical safety and everyday comfort in mind.
The Medical Binder Band
The ultimate adjustable post-op binder with or without straps
The Medical Binder Band offers customizable compression for your chest. Its short fit and front hook-and-eye closure make it easy to put on and take off, even while movement may be limited. You can also attach shoulder straps if extra support feels right for your body.
Made from breathable mesh fabric, this binder moves with you, ensuring your ribs and lungs remain free to expand naturally. The flexibility of the material and hidden seams mean maximum comfort, while still providing the structure your healing body needs.
Why it helps:
-
Helps counteract chest swelling
-
Promotes scar healing and reduces oedema risk
-
Adjustable tightness to accommodate changing swelling
-
Suitable for those with breathing or sensory sensitivities
-
Comfortable mesh fabric allows full range of movement

The Medical Binder

The Medical Binder offers full coverage and adjustable compression, making it ideal for those who prefer a more traditional fit. Like the Binder Band, it features a front hook-and-eye closure for convenience and precise adjustment. Its shoulder straps also include closures for extra flexibility, ensuring the safest and most comfortable fit after a mastectomy.
The soft mesh fabric supports your chest without restricting your breathing or movement. Hidden seams ensure a smooth feel against the skin, even during longer wear.
