James Johnson The incision shield was mentioned in Adam's book, so I purchased one and it has been a lifesaver. The purpose of the shield is to keep shirts, blouses, etc. off of your incision to prevent irritation. It also allows for air movement to help the incision to heal. The shield is flexible, adjustable and washable and I would highly recommend this item for OHS. I might add I wear it at night, too, in order to keep the sheets from rubbing against the incision. If the Docs are going to crack your chest, then this is the ticket!
