The challenge to wear an infusion pump 24/7
The challenge for people who need to use an infusion pump 24/7 is how they can fit into their daily lives and activities, such as cycling, walking, jogging, physical therapy, sports or even what they have to do with the infusion pump at night.
There are many accessories such as backpacks, pouch bags, shoulder bags or a medical carrier bag as shown in the picture to the left. All these solutions have one thing in common; the ambulatory infusion pump came first, it is protected. The patient came in second place.
This Medication Vest(s) alternative that improves your quality of life.
The innovation of the Medication Vest started with the patient first; what are their needs, what are the problems that the patient is confronted with on a daily basis and how can we help to improve the quality of life.
These were the first questions that were asked.
The result is the Medication Vest, easy access to the control panel, easy access to the PEG-J connection, easy wearing.

Different ways for carrying an infusion pump
Make a hole in your outerwear to connect to the PEG-J tube or wear loose T-shirts.
You must always carry your ambulatory infusion pump with you, some patients day and night.
If you use the small shoulder bag, you can hide it under a jacket and somehow connect the hose through the armhole of the t-shirt or make a hole in the side seam of your blouse.
With the Medication Vest, this is all much easier.
You wear it as underwear, the pump is safe and stable.

There is a better way
The Medication Vest which you wear as underwear, it holds the pump tightly against the body and the tubing is tucked away safely.

tubes getting stuck behind a doorknob and the PEG-j connection breaks loose,
stand up after you sat down and forgot that you had put your bag on the floor
or while sleeping that the tube gets caught around your arm or body.

This can be so much better
Sleeping with the infusion pump becomes a challenge.
The medical staff advises some patients to keep the pump as close as possible to the PEG-J tube, so sleeping becomes a challenge.
Here some general advice from medical staff:
“Hanging from the headboard of the bed is a good idea and maybe put some pillows around you so you won’t roll.”
“Place the pump on the bedside table and sleep close to the edge of the bed might work !!!”
“Some patients sleep with it under their pillow or between their legs and put some pillows around them so that they don’t turn in their sleep.”
“Try a number of different methods until you find one that works for you, it is important that the ambulatory infusion pump is safe, stable, does not fall down or gets damaged.”
The original Medication Vest keeps your infusion pump in the right place, close to your PEG-J tube, safe and stable.
