The PocketVest is quickly and easily applied, with a conforming design that uses simple hook and loop adjustments for proper positioning and comfort. The approach is more consistent and reliable than other techniques — in fact it is the only system of its kind, with a demonstrated clinical advantage.2

Recovery – Rehab – Home

PocketVest offers a single solution for consistent therapy throughout post-procedure care.

Its superior design makes the PocketVest easy to use, increases patient compliance to enhance healing, and reduces potential costs from both infection and prolonged recovery times.

PocketVest is constructed with a hypoallergenic foam core that provides maximum airflow, surrounded by a highly elastic fabric designed to minimize sweat and enhance dryness.

A pressure-and-cooling pocket is positioned directly over the incision site — it receives a wedge for pressure, and an optional reusable gel ice pack.

PocketVest’s design is patient-friendly, clinician-friendly, latex-free and easily adjustable.
