Product Details
Shoulder, chest, and arm surgery leaves women unable to raise their arms for weeks — sometimes months. Standard T-shirts that pull over the head become impossible and painful, potentially dangerous for healing tissue. Reaching behind to fasten anything is out of the question.
Designed specifically for women recovering from surgery in India, Aasra's adaptive T-shirt opens completely along both sides with soft velcro panels. Slip it on without lifting your arms, close the velcro, and you're dressed. Caregivers can assist in under 30 seconds with full side access.
Who is this for?
- Post shoulder replacement or rotator cuff surgery — cannot raise arm overhead
- Post mastectomy or breast surgery recovery with movement restrictions
- Chest or sternum surgery patients — no overhead arm raising allowed
- Post spine or cervical surgery with upper body movement restrictions
- Elderly women who cannot lift arms or reach behind their back
- Stroke patients with weakness or paralysis on one side
- Parkinson's patients needing simpler, easier dressing routines
- Wheelchair users or bedridden women needing caregiver-assisted dressing
Key Features
- Full side-opening velcro — both sides open completely for zero overhead movement
- Soft hospital-grade velcro that won't irritate skin or healing incision sites
- 100% breathable cotton — comfortable for all-day wear throughout recovery
- Reinforced seams for repeated daily washing — close velcro before machine wash
- Relaxed fit accommodates post-surgery dressings, bandages, and drain bags
- Available in sizes S to 3XL in Black, Gray, and Navy
- Suitable for home recovery, physiotherapy visits, and hospital appointments

Good product, soft fabric

Ordered for my wife post surgery. Good cotton, holds up to daily washing. Buying a second one.
Response from Aasra
Thank you for recommending us to others, it genuinely helps a small brand like ours.
-
Product is fine and the side opening works. But I ordered M and it is quite boxy on her, more like a men's cut. Adaptive does not have to mean shapeless. She wears it at home but not outside.
-
Very comfortable
very comfortable and easy to wear
-
She is 81 with frozen shoulder on both sides. Getting dressed was a 20 minute painful process every morning. Now it is under three minutes and she does most of it herself.
-
My mother is 77 and had a cardiac bypass. Sternal precautions for eight weeks meant no arms above shoulder. Hospital never mentioned adaptive clothing exists. A nurse did, quietly, on day three.
Response from Aasra
Thank you. Please do WhatsApp us on 9211084452 if you ever need help with sizing.

Bought for my mother after her rotator cuff repair. The velcro does not catch on the dressing which was my worry. Six weeks of daily use, no issues.
-
Physiotherapist at the hospital actually mentioned adaptive tops and we found this brand. Have recommended it to two other families in the ward since.
-
Post mastectomy with a drain on the left side. She could not raise the arm and the drain made everything worse. This opens fully at the side so we never disturbed it once.
-
Thank you for making this for women. There is nothing else in India.
Response from Aasra
This means a lot. Thank you for choosing Aasra.

very comfortable, soft cotton

She has rheumatoid arthritis, both shoulders affected. Overhead dressing had become a daily negotiation. This ended that.

Mummy had a mastectomy in February. For the first month she could not raise her arms at all and every top we owned needed to go over the head. This opens at both sides. She cried the first day she dressed herself.
-
No complaint about the function, the side opening works. But it is a very boxy cut and my mother, who is small built, swims in it even in S. Adaptive does not have to mean shapeless.
-
Thank you for making clothes for women who are recovering. There is almost nothing in the Indian market.
Response from Aasra
Happy to hear it worked. Do reach out if you need a different size or colour.
-
Excellent quality for the price
-
Good product, comfortable
Response from Aasra
So glad the mornings got easier. Thank you for taking the time to write.
-
Sister had a cardiac surgery, sternum precautions for 8 weeks meant no arms above shoulder and no pushing. This was the answer. Wish the hospital had told us these exist.
-
Bought two for my aunt during her chemo. She has a port and this lets the nurse access it without her undressing in a cold room.
-
Works well and the fabric is comfortable. The cut is quite plain, more like a basic tee. She would like something with a little detail on it. Function first though, I understand.
-
she is 84 with frozen shoulder. earlier dressing took 20 minutes and hurt. now 3 minutes and she does most of it. huge difference
Response from Aasra
This means a lot. Thank you for choosing Aasra.

Physio at the rehab suggested it. Have since told two other families in her ward.
Response from Aasra
Happy to hear it worked. Do reach out if you need a different size or colour.
-
The t shirt works exactly as described and the fabric is comfortable. Only two colour options for women which is a bit disappointing when she has to wear it every day for two months.
