Created by New York City general dentist Dr. Dawn Jones, Lifestyle Pillows makes the Support Pillow, a firm-yet-comfortable pillow designed to stabilize and elevate areas of the body during patient recovery. Its color-coded system helps hospitals distinguish reusable in-facility pillowcases from blue cases sent home with patients, extending supportive care beyond the hospital bed or chair.
Surgical Recovery SystemsAfter founder Scott H. Adams struggled to sleep in a recliner following rotator cuff surgery, Surgical Recovery Systems began making the patented Restore You Therapeutic Support, a U.S.-made positioning device for shoulder and post-surgical recovery. Founded in 2019, the company combines engineering with orthopedic clinical research to hold patients in a consistent recovery position while they sleep in their own beds. Restore You is used by surgical and orthopedic practices nationwide and is undergoing clinical study with Columbia University Hospital.FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP, OH
