VIASOL MED develops innovative recovery essentials that help people feel more comfortable, confident, and cared for — especially in the early days after surgery. We combine premium quality with practical innovation so everyday routines feel easier and more dignified at home or in clinical settings.
We serve people recovering from breast cancer and chest surgeries (including mastectomy and reconstruction), as well as patients managing dialysis access, ports, surgical drains, and other medical tubing. Our signature product, The Shower Shirt®, is a patented, water-resistant shower garment designed to help people take safer showers by shielding sensitive areas from direct spray while keeping drains and tubing supported and organized—so they can focus on healing with greater peace of mind.
Our goal is simple: support a brighter path to better health, one day at a time.
Founder’s VISION:
ALEKSANDRA
EFIMOVA
VIASOL MED is led by Aleksandra Efimova, a serial entrepreneur and Harvard Business School alumna with decades of experience building women-focused consumer brands where performance, design, and quality must work together. Her specialty is creating products that combine great functionality, innovative design, advanced materials, and an elegant, confidence-boosting look — because recovery essentials should feel supportive, not clinical.
With a background in ballet, golf, and fitness, Aleksandra brings a deep understanding of movement, comfort, and the emotional power of feeling like yourself again. A frequent speaker to entrepreneurs and executives, she has been featured in top media outlets including Forbes Women, Bloomberg, NBC, Crain’s Business, Today Chicago Women, and the Chicago Sun-Times. She is also active in mentoring and community involvement, and she is committed to growing VIASOL MED into a trusted collection of recovery solutions — paired with education, encouragement, and care for patients, caregivers, and healthcare partners.
THE SHOWER
SHIRT® story
The Shower Shirt® was invented by Lisa Crites, who recognized a common post-surgical challenge: showering while protecting surgical sites and managing drains and tubing. Her patented innovation created a more dignified way to navigate early recovery showers — helping minimize the chances of water coming into contact with surgical sites when used properly — and remains a cornerstone of our brand.
