Product Details
Getting dressed after knee, hip, or spine surgery is harder than it sounds. Most surgery pants require stepping in and pulling up, which can strain a healing joint or put pressure on a fresh wound. These side-opening recovery shorts open completely along both sides with velcro, so they wrap around the leg from a seated position. No stepping, no lifting, no bending required.
Designed as surgery pants for men recovering at home in India, these tearaway shorts work for daily wear throughout recovery. They look like regular casual shorts and no one will know they open at the sides.
Who needs surgery pants for recovery?
- Knee replacement recovery: standard pants cannot be pulled up without bending the knee
- Hip replacement recovery: hip precautions forbid forward bending and crossing the legs
- Spine and back surgery: reaching down to step into pants strains the lumbar spine
- Leg fractures or casts: the cast makes stepping into any regular pant impossible
- Wheelchair users who need side-accessible lower body clothing
- Bedridden patients who need caregiver-assisted dressing
- Anyone with a drain bag or catheter who needs side access
Why these work as post surgery pants
- Fully tearaway design: velcro opens from waist to knee on both sides
- Dress and undress while seated, standing, or lying down
- Soft elastic waistband: no tight bands pressing on a healing hip or abdomen
- Deep side pockets for phone, keys, and everyday essentials
- Hospital-grade velcro that will not scratch or irritate healing skin
- 100% premium cotton: breathable and comfortable in Indian weather
- Machine washable, durable for daily recovery use
- Available in sizes M to 2XL with a relaxed fit

nice one, doing the job
-
He is 82 and in a wheelchair most of the day. Normal shorts ride up and bunch behind his knees. These lie flat because they wrap rather than pull on.
-
Both knees replaced eight weeks apart. These shorts covered both surgeries and are still in use. Best 999 I spent during the whole thing.
-
Have recommended these to four people in my father's building. Two have already ordered. It is a small community and word travels.
-
Impressed
comfortable in summer, he wears them all day
-
My father had a fracture and a full leg cast. Nothing fit over the cast. These open fully so we just wrapped them around. Simple solution that nobody else in the market seems to offer.
-
Product works well. Slightly short for him at 5 foot 11, sits quite high on the thigh. He is fine at home but self conscious about it.
-
We had been buying loose pyjamas from the local market and cutting the seams ourselves. Never looked right. This is the proper version of what we were trying to make.
-
The opening works and I am glad these exist. But hold it up to the light and it is thinner than I would like. He wears a long kurta over it so it does not matter for us, but if you plan to wear these alone outside, be aware.
Response from Aasra
Thank you for still finding it useful despite the issue. We are working on it.
-
At 999 with the buy 2 offer these are good value. We got two for around 1850.
-
Excellent. zero complaints.
Response from Aasra
Thank you for recommending us to others, it genuinely helps a small brand like ours.
-
Good product overall. Sizing runs a shade large, I would go down one size next time. Not a big issue since loose is fine post surgery.
-
Home nurse recommended it. She said she has seen these on a few patients now and they make her job easier.
-
Home nurse recommended adaptive shorts and we searched and found Aasra. She has since told two other families about it.
-
Bought these for myself after my ACL surgery. I am 34, not elderly, and I was a bit put off that everything for recovery is marketed at old people. These are just normal shorts that open. Wore them for 6 weeks.
-
100% cotton, no synthetic feel, which matters when he is sitting in these all day in Chennai heat. Nothing else to say, they do the job.
Response from Aasra
Thank you. Please do WhatsApp us on 9211084452 if you ever need help with sizing.
-
My husband is diabetic and had a foot procedure. He needed something that would not touch the dressing. These worked, and the sides being open meant the doctor could check the leg without him undressing.
-
Ordered these along with the t shirt for a full post op set. Both good. Delivery was 3 days to Nagpur, COD worked.
-
Ordered two pairs with the buy 2 code. Saved a bit. Both arrived in three days to Pune.
Response from Aasra
This is exactly why we started Aasra. Thank you for sharing it.
-
Excellent for post op recovery
-
Worth every rupee
-
The tearaway design means no lifting the leg at all. That is the whole point and they have nailed it. Everything else, fabric, stitching, is also fine.
-
Does the job well. One suggestion, the velcro is quite loud when you open it. At night in a shared room it wakes people up. Small thing but worth knowing.
-
Good shorts. Slightly short in length for a tall person, my father is 6 feet and they sit quite high on him. He is fine with it at home but would not wear them out.
Response from Aasra
Thank you for the kind words and for trusting us during a difficult time.
-
Very good for knee patients
-
The tearaway sides open all the way to the waist. That is what makes it work during physio. Half length openings on other brands are useless.
Response from Aasra
Thank you. Please do WhatsApp us on 9211084452 if you ever need help with sizing.

Bought for my husband after his knee arthroscopy. He is 39 and plays cricket. Wore these for a month and went back to normal. Not just for elderly people.
-
Grandfather is 88 and mostly in a wheelchair. Regular shorts bunch up and press into him when seated. These wrap flat. He has stopped complaining about the discomfort which for him is very high praise.
Response from Aasra
Grateful for this. Wishing your family a smooth recovery.

बहुत अच्छा है, पापा के लिए बहुत काम आया
