Tynor Chest Binder A11 | Rib & Sternum Support Australia
-
Size
The Tynor Chest Binder is a thoracic compression binder designed to help compress and assist stabilisation of the rib cage and sternum, providing controlled support to the thoracic region during recovery from rib fractures, sternal fractures, and post-cardiothoracic surgery. Constructed from superior-quality elastic webbing with heat-resistant rubber, a 50mm thick PUF centre pad, and lateral side pads, it is designed to assist firm compression and targeted splinting while allowing sufficient flexibility for comfortable breathing throughout the recovery period. Supplied by Australian Healthcare Supplies, a registered NDIS provider based in Perth, Western Australia.
Features
Intended Use
The Tynor Chest Binder may assist in managing discomfort and supporting recovery associated with the following conditions:
- Rib fractures and dislocations
- Sternal (breastbone) fractures — designed to assist splinting and stabilisation
- Post-cardiothoracic surgery recovery
- Post-operative chest wall protection and compression
- Reduction of discomfort associated with rib cage movement during breathing, coughing, or sneezing
- Assisting phlegm expulsion post-cardiothoracic surgery to help reduce post-operative pulmonary complications
- Muscle tear, strain, and soft tissue injury to the thoracic region
- General thoracic compression and support during recovery
Use under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. If your doctor, physiotherapist, or surgeon has recommended a chest binder or thoracic support belt, confirm product code A 11 with your clinician. NDIS participants should contact us to confirm funding eligibility.
How to Use
- Position the centre pad at the furrow of the chest (sternum), ensuring it sits centrally over the area of fracture or surgical incision.
- Wrap the binder around the thorax keeping it upright — the side pads should sit over each side of the rib cage.
- Fasten the hook-and-loop closure panels to a comfortable, firm compression — snug but not so tight as to restrict breathing.
- Adjust the straps and pad position as needed for a secure and comfortable fit.
- Check that breathing feels comfortable and unobstructed before completing application.

Common Questions
What is the difference between the Tynor Chest Binder and the Rib Belt?
The Tynor Chest Binder (A11) features a 50mm thick PUF centre pad designed to assist splinting of the sternum, plus lateral side pads for compressive force distribution — making it suitable for sternal fractures and post-cardiothoracic surgery. The Tynor Rib Belt (A09) is a wrap-around elastic belt designed for rib fracture support and thoracic compression without structured pads. Confirm with your healthcare professional which is more appropriate for your specific condition and injury.
Can the Tynor Chest Binder be used after open heart surgery?
The Chest Binder is designed to assist post-cardiothoracic surgery recovery and help with phlegm expulsion and sternal stabilisation. Post-operative use must be directed and supervised by your treating surgeon or physician only — do not use for post-surgical support without explicit clinical guidance.
How tight should the chest binder be worn?
The binder should feel firm and supportive but you must be able to breathe comfortably. If breathing feels restricted at any point, loosen the closure immediately and seek guidance from your healthcare professional.
