Realizing that post-operative respiratory therapy is quite painful, two cardiovascular surgeons developed Sir Koff-A-Lot in the mid-1980’s to ease their patients’ pain.
The bear’s firm, flat, seamless back is held against the patient’s incision, thereby providing support and exerting a counterforce that minimizes the pain of therapy. Sir Koff-A-Lot also provides psychotherapeutic benefits by becoming a “friend” during the frightening period following surgery. Even the most masculine, grizzled men hang on to Sir Koff-A-Lot once they realize the benefits of the pain-relieving bear.
Sir Koff-A-Lot wears a t-shirt that is silk-screened with the client’s logo to serve as a marketing tool. The back of the shirt can be screened with the design of an anatomical heart to serve as a teaching aid. The bear also has a booklet attached, titled “The Care and Feeding of Sir Koff-A-Lot”, which illustrates how the bears are to be used. Stuffed firmly with hypoallergenic polyester filling, Sir Koff-A-Lot is machine washable and dryable, and exceeds all state and Federal safety guidelines.
Providing Sir Koff-A-Lot not only benefits patients by aiding with their recovery; it also illustrates the high level of commitment that the institution and its caregivers have for the well being of their patients.
