Designed for your body and active lifestyle, the Active LVAD shirt increases your comfort doing activities that you love most.

Want an LVAD shirt designed for you? 

Through many iterations, the Active LVAD Shirt has been designed to work for you. Adjusting the sizing and pocket placement based on your measurements means your shirt will give you comfort, access to equipment, and security while wearing your LVAD.

 




Comfort

The shirt is designed to distribute the weight of the LVAD equipment. It is made of stretch, wicking sports material and will fit close to your body to minimize equipment shifting.




Access

The shirt allows easy access to the equipment, with a front zipper for the drive line and easy-to-open pockets.





Security

The controller and batteries are kept secure in the pockets with your choice of hook and tape closures, snaps, or hooks. Tabs hold the power cables close to your body.


 
Fitting challenges?

Each of us has fitting challenges when it comes to clothes. This could mean everything from shoulders that are different heights to mobility issues that make it difficult to lift a shirt over your head. Because the Active LVAD shirt is customized to your measurements and lifestyle, any and all fitting challenges can be addressed. 

 

The shirt pictured to the right was designed for a customer with limited arm mobility. The additional opening with hook and tape closure allows him to put it on like a vest and close it so that it fits close to his body.

 

Please note that some specialized fitting or adaptations may require additional costs.
