PATIENT SUPPORT PRODUCTS

 

Butterfly Vest  #BV-1

The "butterfly" concept for upper body support has been with us for many years. Now modern materials and sewing techniques have made this reliable support vest even better. The vest is well padded throughout. The nylon shell is water proof and stain resistant. The heavy duty snaps provide quick and easy opening for every day in and out. Easy to use side-release buckles secure the shoulder straps and under seat straps. Once all straps have been secured and adjusted to the patients comfort the front snaps allow for quick on and off. This classic, reliable and functional vest will provide exceptional thoracic support.
The #BV-1 support vest is available in X-small, Small, Large and X-large. Choose from: Black, Navy, Brown, Royal or Red. The vest can be embroidered with initials, names or wild life designs. Special children's designs are are also available.
