This SPIO Vest is an easy to use garment that is made to be discreetly worn under clothing. The fabric can grow by 25% so children can use it for a while, and there is no break-in period. It is lightweight, breathable, and designed not to retain heat. This will prevent patients from overheating while wearing the vest. SPIO Vest Compression Garments are an ideal option for a number of conditions that require children to have support around their core. It can be used for patients with Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and Muscular Atrophy. The vest is available in multiple sizes to suit a range of ages. Adjustments of up to 6 centimeters can be made once the garment is on.
Children wear the vest over the hips, and it is anchored with a crotch strap that keeps the garment from riding up. The neoprene back panel is semi-rigid, and offers comfortable support. Hook and loop tabs connect the front and back panels, letting caregivers easily remove and put on the vest as needed. Through cylindrical chest, abdominal, and pelvic compression, the vest assists with stabilizing and activating core muscles.
SPIO Vest Compression Garments comply with HCPCS codes: L1499, L3999, L0450, L0454. As with any compression-type orthotic system, you should discuss the SPIO vest with a healthcare professional before using it. It should feel snug and firm on patients in order to provide optimal compression.
