How to choose your LVAD shirt or tank top
Sizing
Our LVAD shirts are compression shirts and run small. Measure around the fullest part of your chest and compare it with the size chart on the product page. If you are between sizes, or not sure, order one size up from your usual T-shirt size. The tank top has a looser, more relaxed fit and uses the same chest chart. Both come in sizes S to 4XL with a unisex fit.
Pocket placement
On both styles the controller pocket sits at the center front, so it works whether your driveline exits on the left or the right. Battery pockets with velcro straps sit at the sides, under the arms, and extended velcro loops keep the cables tidy.
Device fit
Our clothing is designed for HeartMate 3 and HeartMate 2 controllers and batteries. If you use a different device, contact us before ordering so we can check compatibility.
Care
The shirts are 85% nylon and 15% spandex, the tank tops 94% nylon and 6% spandex. Both are machine washable. Take out your controller and batteries before washing.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose the shirt or the tank top?
Choose the shirt for a close compression fit that spreads the weight of your equipment evenly; the black shirt uses our highest-compression fabric. Choose the tank top for a looser fit, especially in warmer months.
Can I wear it under my everyday clothes?
Yes. Both styles hold your equipment close to your body, so they layer under regular clothing.
What if the size is wrong?
