How to Choose the Right Size for Your Posthorax Sternum Support Vest

​

Take a thorax measurement

​

  1. Place a measuring tape around the torso right underneath the armpits. Bring both ends together in front.      

  2. Compare your measurements with our sizing chart and make your selection accordingly.                                  

  3. For proper instructions on how to fit a vest on a patient, please watch our user video.

​

Important note: Do not go over the nipple line. This will lead to an incorrect measurement.

​

If the measurement is between sizes, we always recommend sizing down.
