There is separate drop down size options for the 2x and 3x. Sizes larger than that just click on the box custom and then enter in your waist measurement. We will add 5″ to your size to allow for the LVAD. We commonly make sizes up to 60″, although larger is not a problem. It is helpful to know your height.

I had my heart mate 3 surgery 3 weeks ago and I’m looking for lvad shirts, the problem I’m having is I wear 3x so I’m looking for a 4x since you say they run small. Any help or ideas would be great
Concerned that the exposed driveline could catch on something. OTherwise looks good.

I need3x shirt but am a little confused about driveline. It comes out on MY LEFT SIDE, so would I order a left side shirt?
Does the white Ladies vest also have elastic straps like the cotton twill does?

My husband just recently had bivads put in, would this accommodate 2 vads or do you have something that would if not?
Does the backpack require a longer controller driveline? Or does the existing Heartmate III driveline fit?
With the vest, where does the HEARTMATE controller go? It is not clear from the photos where the Heartmate controller is put.
Would chest size correlate to ones bra size?
Is this Heart mate 3 compatible?
Does the belt fit heart mate 3
Does the mesh vest work with the Heartware LVAD? (This would be for my wife.)
I have a HeartMate-3. Looking at your photos, I do not see a front strap. I am a hiker and will need as sternum strap. If not could, could one be easily added? My 25 pound backpack just became 50 lbs. I will need a cart for the 50 pounds and a backpack for the LVAD. Plan is to walk Camino de Santiago next year.
I just received my lvad shoulder bag and it’s exactly as shown. The elastic for the batteries I’m sure will hold all day. The strap is the most comfortable one I have ever had. I will definitely be getting another in the future.
Will my Drive-line reach? Does it matter which side my drive-line is on?
On all vests there are controller pockets on each side to accommodate either side drive-line.
On shirts sized small through XL, the controller pocket is located in the center as low as possible. On 2X and 3X we move the controller pocket to the side where your drive-line originates.
