Bloom43: a new era in breast surgery prep & prehab
What if there was something you could proactively do before breast surgery to help reduce the risk of complications and support healing? Something that’s drug-free and simple to do at home with minimal effort.
Bloom43 is a wearable device designed to gently warm the skin, which patients can place in their bra the night before surgery.
Developed by reconstructive plastic surgeon, Dr Saahil Mehta, it’s been shown to reduce healing complications, hospital stay, outpatient follow-up and re-operation rates.
I talk to Dr. Saahil and Carly Moosah, the Patient Champion at Bloom43, about the reasons behind the development of the device and the importance of patient input, like Carly's, in the co-design process.
