Which vest is better?

Hi all!

Kate had a great clinic visit a couple weeks ago. Hardly any weight gain from the previous visit, but she had a nasty case of hand, foot, mouth for a week beforehand, so the lack of eating with that they thought probably caused the little weight gain. She had a clear culture which makes this the sixth one since we eradicated PA with a hospital admission over a year ago. The best news though, was that at the next visit they are going to fit her and order a vest! I cannot wait! They told me to leave extra time for the visit, and that we would decide between a couple companies what to get. Well, I kind of want to go in prepared and research the vests now while I can. So, I thought I'd ask the experts. What kind do you or your child use? Also, I know I've read on here that one brand is great with insurance, are they all like that? So far, we have had no insurance issues, but I know this is a big ticket item.

Thanks for your help,
Zoe Mom to Kate 20 months wCF

If you would like to read a letter from the physician, Dr. Warwick, who invented High Frequency Chest Compression, you can go to my blog.

It will explain the differences between all the different types of Vests.

You can also read a head to head study that was conducted to evaluate the types of vests:

Thanks for all the info. I'll be doing a lot of reading over the next few months to try and have it narrowed down before I get to the appointment!
