Preparing for surgery is a powerful way of preventing complications. These complications might cause prolonged healing times, additional outpatient appointments or possibly even more surgery. Prevention means a better recovery, reduced hospital stay, quicker progression to additional essential planned treatments and most importantly, getting back to the things that matter.
We exist to help people prepare and pre-emptively protect their bodies before surgery through the power of supraphysiological preconditioning™.
Our mission is to empower every patient to achieve a complication-free experience of surgery, attaining the outcome they want and deserve.
Every patient asks – ‘what can I do to prepare for my surgery?’
BLOOM43 is a simple, drug-free wearable device for home use that gives anyone facing breast surgery the opportunity to positively influence their recovery outcomes, pre-surgery. Boosting skin resilience, it reduces recovery times and complications, so any additional procedures or treatment can proceed without delay.

Preparing for surgery is a powerful way of preventing complications that might cause prolonged healing times, additional outpatient appointments or possibly even more surgery. BLOOM⁴³ works in harmony with your body, boosting its natural ability to respond to interventions, using the power of supraphysiological preconditioning™. This works by causing the release of naturally occurring heat-shock proteins, which protect our skin from the effects of surgery. They do this by improving the blood flow to the skin through the release of carbon monoxide, a potent vasodilator. The effect of better blood flow means more oxygen gets delivered to your skin. And better blood flow means better healing.
