How to choose your LVAD shorts
Standard or Performance
We make two styles with the same reinforced pockets. The standard LVAD shorts have a softer fit for everyday wear. The Performance shorts are black and made in our highest-compression fabric for the firmest hold.
Sizing
Both styles come in sizes S to 4XL and are sized by waist. Measure around your waist and check the size chart in the product photos.
Pocket placement
Thigh pockets hold your controller and batteries, and velcro straps keep the batteries firmly in place. Built-in loops keep extra cable organized, and the waistband is designed to stay clear of your driveline.
Device fit
Both styles are made for HeartMate 2 and HeartMate 3. If you use a different device, contact us before ordering so we can check compatibility.
Care
The shorts are machine washable. Take out your controller and batteries before washing.
