Masthead

Masthead® was started with one primary purpose: to provide women with comfort, support, and dignity as they prepare for, undergo, and recover from surgery and other treatments. After working for many years as a physician, and after undergoing surgery herself, Johns Hopkins- and Harvard-trained Radiation Oncologist Dr. Elizabeth Chabner Thompson made a discovery: While the surgeries and treatments for cancer and other conditions had rapidly evolved and, in some cases, been revolutionized, the recovery products available to women were still stuck in the distant past. Realizing that patients who feel cared for, dignified and empowered tend to recover faster and more completely. In 2011 she decided to change the status quo and improve the patient experience by designing a revolutionary new bra made of a soft, lightweight performance fabric that provides just enough compression and stays dry and fresh. The patent-pending garment has an ingenious drain management system with side openings, ribbons and loops. She found a factory to produce the garments, and a business was born. Our company has grown to an exceptional team working in a big, bustling, modern office space and warehouse space near New York City where we develop new products, help customers, and ship out orders. What we value most at Masthead® is receiving emails, letters and phone calls from women whose treatment journey we helped improve. Today, our state-of-the-art Elizabeth Pink Surgical Bra® is used in hundreds of the top hospitals in the country by the finest doctors and surgical staff.
