A band for use for breast stabilization from lateral gravitational shifting is disclosed. The band comprises a strip to encircle the body, a first section comprising a semi-cylindrical component of a sponge-like material at one end and a nap material patch on its outer surface with a cylindrical side placed over the sternum, and a second section for connecting an end of the body strip to encircle a user's body. The band comprises at least one fenestration to enable breast exposure. The object of this invention is to provide a band centrally placed over the sternum and wrapped under the arms around the chest preventing lateral breast shifting when the patient is in the side-laying position. The invention comprises a body strip to accommodate breast coverage achieved with a fenestrated band. Variations of the band are also useful in dressing bodily wounds, such as on the face or knee.
