As part of the pre-operative teaching session, patients were given a Jacki to use after their surgery. The reviews were enthusiastic. They found the garment to be comfortable, warm and aethestically pleasing to wear. Our surgeons are as enthusiastic about this product as the nursing staff and the patients.

The "Jacki" has been a true gift for my patients who have received one. They have told me what a difference it has made in the recovery from such a traumatic experience.

We have had enthusiastic support from our surgeons, oncologists, nurses, and case managers. This Jacki is well designed. It incorporates pockets for multiple drains and Velcro sleeves for easy IV use. The fabric is light and absorbent, a great feature for warm hospital rooms. Patients can wear this garment from hospitalization through treatments of chemotherapy and radiation.

Women have expressed a sense of empowerment, dignity and restored hope because someone cared enough to design a product especially for their recovery.

"Each and every patient who used this product found it to be a useful and comforting item when comfort is otherwise at a minimum.  The long hours spent waiting in drafty rooms wearing only a thin hospital johnny can make patients feel even worse than they already do. It robs them of their dignity..."

"As the Nurse Coordinator at the center, I feel the Jacki needs to be a standard intervention in the care plan of patients undergoing surgery for breast cancer."

"I am thrilled that you have received a Genentech grant to supply several of the area hospitals with the 'Jacki'. Women have found them very valuable in helping them feel as comfortable as possible after their breast surgery. In fact, most go on to wear them even after the immediate post-operative period."
