Shumsky Therapeutic Products Awarded Patent for Original Breast Cancer Pillow®

Dayton, Ohio – Shumsky Therapeutic Products, a division of Shumsky Enterprises and the manufacturer of the Original Heart Pillow®, has been awarded the patent for a new product designed specifically for breast cancer patients. The Original Breast Cancer Pillow® is a simple, yet powerful patient-focused product that provides a tangible source of emotional and physical comfort beginning at diagnosis and continuing through treatment and recovery.

The pillow is currently being used in several facilities across the United States. “The feedback from patients and health professionals has been overwhelmingly positive”, says Lynne Booher, director of Therapeutic Products. “The development of this pillow was extremely important to our entire staff. We have all been touched by this disease in some way and were pleased to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month by donating pillows to local Dayton-area hospitals. We are very pleased that the patent has been awarded and that the pillow is playing a part in providing comfort to these patients.” The internationally recognized pink ribbon displayed on the pillow symbolizes the hope, courage, and empowerment of every breast-cancer patient. The simple message “Because We Care” imprinted next to the ribbon reminds each patient that she is not alone.

Shumsky Therapeutic Products manufactures a comprehensive line of post-operative pillows for a variety of conditions. Every pillow offers the added advantage of advertising for the customer. For more information call 888-333-3677 or visit www.therapeuticpillows.com.
