Which vest do you use?

Barb · Dec 5, 2008

As I mentioned in another post I am in charge of fundraising for my friends daughters vest. I also volunteered to do some vest research (she is very overwhelmed with all her daughters medical stuff right now. Her daughter has CF and a hole in her heart that is not related to the CF. They said it would heal in time but it has ended up getting worse. Her daughter is almost 7 and has to take it easy until further testing.)

So, to relieve some stress I said I would research vests. Which one do you use? What do you like about it? What would you change? Is one company better then another or are they all the same? What are some important things to consider?

I would love some feedback on this. I will compile it all and present it to her in a short report or something simple that will be the least stressful so they can make an informed decision. Thanks in advance for your feedback. I really appreciate it.

My son uses the respirtech incourage. The doctors at the CF center said he was the first to use it from our clinic, prior to that the center used Hillrom's Vest. I like it a lot, it has a great quick start feature. Plus I've heard people complain that the hoses pop off the VEST, ours have these sturdy latches, you could probably pick up the machine by the hoses. And the guy who came out to set it up and show us how to use it was great. You can use the pre-programmed quick start, or program it yourself (you can save three self set programs).
