Our office does about 100 breast reconstructions yearly. When patients come for their pre-op visit, we review the risks involved, and what to expect post-op. Preparing patients to deal with their drains is a big part of the process. Everyone gets a Pink Pocket brochure. It gives them a non-threatening look at drains, and a convenient solution for how to deal with getting dressed when you have them. Patients come back with rave reviews about their Pink Pockets.

 Pink Pockets are a simple and comfortable way for us to help our breast cancer patients recuperate after a mastectomy.  Nurses and care-givers find them very easy to apply to patient’s garments and the fastest way to store the drains the patient needs for healing but always is troubled to handle. We are thrilled to have the product for our patients.

Pink Pockets are such an amazing and simple product for breast cancer patients to use after having their mastectomies. The pockets are so easy to apply and come in cheerful patterns! They make securing surgical drains that are often placed after patients have mastectomies so easy and comfortable. We, as nurses, LOVE this product because we often sell our designer gown to people that will be soon undergoing mastectomies and we love to be able to make a person’s hospital stay a little easier. We recommend Pink Pockets to all our breast cancer customers and have had a great response to this product!! We also think it is wonderful that these pockets were designed by a breast cancer survivor, someone who knows exactly what it was like to go through having a mastectomy.
