NEST
Shoulder Surgery Recovery
NEST
The NEST tackles a key challenge for shoulder surgery patients: persistent pain during sleep.
Despite successful surgery and minimal daytime discomfort, many patients wake after several
hours in severe pain, unable to rest comfortably. Surgeons often recommend recliners or sleep
wedges for better positioning, but recliners are costly and impractical for short-term use, while
wedges fail to support the arm and allow patients to slide down the bed, exacerbating discomfort.
Developed through years of rigorous design and testing, the NEST combines the structured
support of a recliner with the portability and comfort of a body pillow. Its innovative, malleable
core enables precise arm positioning to reduce strain and prevent reinjury. Two secure capes
anchor the device to the bed, eliminating slippage, while an integrated elbow block prevents
painful shoulder extension, ensuring optimal alignment. Lightweight and user-friendly, the
NEST promotes pain-free, restorative sleep, empowering patients to recover confidently at home.
