Abstract

VAD Battery Holster is a device that contains the batteries of a VAD in holsters and allows the holsters to fit securely to the body of the user. VAD Battery Holster utilizes two adjustable straps that are designed to be situated on either side of the front of a user and extend from the front to the back of the user where they cross over one another. The two adjustable straps attach in the front and the back to two holsters designed to be located on either side and near the hips of the user. The holsters have hoops on them to permit a belt to be attached through them and wrapped around a user'"'"'s waist. An additional strap in the front of the device connects the adjustable straps to secure the device around the chest of the user and another strap on the back of the device connects the holsters around the lower back of the user to further support and secure the device to the user.
