Anatomy of a Vest

When Allan Thomas was thinking of best ways to help semi-ambulatory people, he designed over time the current SDS Transfer Vest. His thoughts and sketches and ideas created a unique item that manages to raise the level of care in both the patient/loved one/resident and the caregiver.

Straps that brace the vest to spread the energy of a lift over the entire torso.
Soft Neoprene construction to protect and cushion the loved one.
Clavicle area handles to facilitate a "non bending" lift for the caregiver.
Kidney handles to help the two man move and for extra ambulating support.
Velcro closure and poncho design to make it fast, easy and nonthreatening.
Anti microbial treatment as a preventative measure.

All in all, WOW
