HillRom Vest Vs INCourage Vest

I have always used the Hill ROm 104 vest, to be honest I don't really like it at all, This time in the hospital they set me up with the older version on the HillRom..which I thought was really amazing and would love to trade it my new vest for the old one..

My RT who is amazing, sent me with the new encourage or INcourage vest can't remember the name and I am trying that one to...

I was just wondering out of the three, ( for anyone who is a bigger CFer, bigger chest size etc) which vest did you find works for you,

I have not really been able to tell to much about the Encourage because the right size fitting vest isn't going to be in till today, but I love the lock in tubes and not having to set programs etc..

Any input? I know I have had a lot of questions but I just went to this new CF center in Charleston which by the way is one of the most amazing care centers I still can't believe all they do for us.... anyway, they all trying to hook me up with better ways of taking care of myself

Thanks again
Jennifer

I have the incourage syste and I love it. The only thing is that I dont really have anything to base it on. I too liked the lock in tubes and preprogrammed routine. All I have to do is press start and boom...

As far as the chest issue, I dont think it is really a problem...because they take VERY precise measurements of a lot of different places. I have bigger boobs, but a smaller frame elsewhere and the consultant from Respirtech (he had worked under/with Warwick as he was developing the Vest) knew a lot about the sizing. He said that mine fits me very well and he actually came out to my house to give me a tutorial on use. It was very good service.

Good luck, let me know if you need anything else!

I like my inCourage system much more than my old HR. The HR just felt like it was shaking me, where the inCourage actually feels closer to a pound. Don't get me wrong, for me, nothing beats a good hand pound, but the Vest is better than nothing. I don't have to battle boobs, but I do have a decent size chest...for a man.

Good luck with the search!
