My name is Christine Huber and I am a LVAD Coordinator at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, MO. I think the products you have created for the LVAD population is incredible! I have so many patients who want or need an alternative wearable for their equipment, specifically one that provides them the ability to be hands free while also concealing the equipment in a secure manner. This eases their fears of being perceived as “unusual” or “intimidating” because they have equipment attached to their body and reduces their anxiety about the securement of their device components. . Your product has given patients the opportunity to resume participating in their favorite activities and encourages mobility, both of which are invaluable for the patients.

At the risk of lacking originality, the LVAD T-shirt has been a total game changer for me. The design is clearly the result of careful thought and despite being one of the most expensive pieces of clothing I own (especially after paying shipping to the UK), it has been worth every last penny. Freedom from the dreaded shoulder bag has made my life more comfortable and easier, as well as eliminating the drop risk. Thank you LVAD gear!
Ray Numbers (store manager) –
The LVAD shirt was received quickly. It is very comfortable and make carrying all the equipment very easy. We’ve ordered 2 more since receiving the first short!
Amps Josephine (store manager) –

Very pleased with the LVAD shirts we ordered from LVAD Gear. I would highly recommend this product.
Carolyn Williams (store manager) –
I ordered the shirt for my husband he was so excited to get his shirt. When the shirt arrived, he immediately tried it on and was very happy. The shirt fits perfect! It helps balance the batteries and the controller which takes the weight off of his shoulders. Ordering the shirt was easy with the help of Mrs. Paula who made our experience pleasant. Thank you!!
Mildred Childers (store manager) –
These shirts have made my husbands life so much easier. He got his LVAD in February 2020. He wasn’t comfortable in anything he wore. These shirts are well worth the money. We will be ordering more.
William Howe (store manager) –
The shirts are made in the USA, have the seam on the inside, making on and off easier. Thanks for the freedom your shirts provide!
Edward Wetmore (store manager) –
They not only have great service, they also have fast shipping. I bought one of the white T-shirts or undershirt and loved it so much I had to buy a second one in black. Someone had a fantastic idea. The bag that I was sent home with was weighing me down. I just didn’t care about going out with it around my neck or shoulder but the freedom the shirt brings is totally awesome. I feel like a knew person. Now you can’t hold me back. I would very highly recommend one of these to anyone with an LVAD. I will definitely be back for more of these.

Take care, Brent and the entire LVAD Gear Team

Wow! Thank you. Yesterday was my 7 year anniversary of my LVAD. Your shirts have been my best tool for living with the LVAD. It makes wearing and caring for the equipment a breeze. I recommend them to all the LVAD patients I mentor.

Heather E. (store manager) –
Thank you for giving my husband back his freedom! He hated going out with the vest or a bag and with your shirts he goes everywhere without thinking about it. People don’t stop him and ask questions because you can’t see all the equipment.
This is our second order and we’re still thrilled with these shirts!!
Janie R (store manager) –
I’ll never forget the day my husband got his first LVAD T-shirt! It made such a difference having everything close to the body and concealed. The sleep belts are great too. Everyone at LVAD Gear are so nice and easy to work with. If you have a problem or question all you have to do is call them.
Julie (store manager) –
Purchased the black T-shirt for my mother she is only 100 lbs and the size small is perfect for her. Great quality. Going to order the white one.
I wish they made the ladies tank for the heart-wear machine.

Paul Muehler (store manager) –
I am very pleased with my lvad shirts, but I am even more pleased with the personal service I received when ordering the shirts. The personal consideration given to my concerns and needs is something you do not find very often in this time in our society. Thank you for all the help you have given me. May God bless you and your business.

I order the gear for my husband and he love it. I should have ordered it sooner. It has made things so much easier for him. And his confidence level is up in such a short time. Thanks!

Amazing shirt made life a lot easier.
Marc Rumpf (verified owner) –
LVAD shirt has given me more freedom and the shirt feels well on the body. Liked it so well I order another one.
Alice Floyd (store manager) –
The LVAD shirts and sleep belt from this company were a game changer. We tried several other recommended products, and none came close to returning us to as close to normal activity as possible. We got a personal call when my son accidentally ordered a shirt that would not have worked for us. Thanks you so much for developing and producing these products.
Lorraine Jones (store manager) –
My father is 5 weeks post op with the lvad device. These shirts have made such a difference in his ease of life. we ordered the tshirt and the sleep belt both have been awesome. He actually loves sleeping in the shirts because he feels so secure in the placement of the controller and driveline. Thank you for your innovative design! As I have read many replies and you have asked if you can post these on your website, yes, yes, yes! I can’t say enough about the life changing support these shirts have given my father.
Theresa Weeks (verified owner) –
I ordered one of these for my husband – game changer! He loves it – just ordered two more.
Barbara Gosiewski (store manager) –
Hi Brent, My husband is a new Lvad wearer. your shirt has made a difficult learning process easier. He likes the fabric and tight fit. The pockets are in just the right spot and hold his equipment so they don’t slide around. Thanks. Barb
Jeanetta Miller (verified owner) –
My husband has been trying to figure out how to wear his LVAD so it’s safe, comfortable, and not bulky. Your brilliantly designed LVAD shirt makes all of this a reality. Thanks so much

Awarded the heartmate3 on Apr 30. I despise the holster!!!! Is this comfortable?? Does look good.
Neal Johnson –
Question please – in your illustration of the HEARTMATE shirt it spear that the control line is much longer than mine, given the anchor and all. Is there a minimum length of the control line necessary for the practical use of your shirt? Thanks.
SUE –
I have LVAD HEARTMATE 3. CAN IT BE USED WITH THIS SHIRT?
Delbert Minske (verified owner) –
I received my LVAD for HeartMate 3 today and it is great. This makes the fifth one I have purchased, four from Etsy and now from lvadgear. Ordering was easy not confusing. I received the shirt in less than a week. I look forward to purchasing additional t-shirts in the near future. Thank you
Larry Newby (verified owner) –
I’m going to really enjoy the LVAD shirts once I finish healing. I’m a couple of weeks past discharge and things are still bit tender. Even at that, when I tried one on it fit very nicely (I ordered mediums – I’m a little under 5′ 6″, 136 pounds, chest 37″ – squarely between a small and a medium.) It’s going to be the solution when I’m healed up and especially when the weather gets warmer. It’s great to have all the equipment in one garment. It makes getting dressed much easier, and everything is balanced and out of sight.
suusan parker –
I absolutely love the heartmate shirt! The weight of the equipment is distributed perfectly. Wish you had a tank shirt to wear in the summer. The shirt sleeves show underneath the top shirt as well as adds to the heat of summer.
Deborah (verified owner) –
I just wanted to tell you that the LVAD shirt fit my husband perfectly! It relieved him from the pressure on his neck and back. He was so pleased with it that I just ordered another one in the color black.
Thank you,
Cheryl Pool (verified owner) –
My husband had his LVAD put in in Memorial day so we are still learning the ropes but we were thrilled when we received his t-shirt. It is so much more comfortable than all of those straps and harnesses. Thank you for your endeavors to make this life easier!
a.g.morisch (verified owner) –
So pleased with your product. Reduces the physical fatigue and mental stress associated with wearing an lvad thank you so much!! We are so happy!!
