Who founded LVAD Gear and why?

Brent Lemay founded LVAD Gear after his own LVAD implantation in 2012. He recognized the lack of practical clothing designed to safely carry and manage an LVAD device, so he collaborated with a physical therapist and clothing designers to create purpose-built apparel. He continues the mission even after receiving a heart transplant.

LVAD Gear apparel is specifically engineered with designated pockets and design features that secure your device, provide easy access for monitoring, and allow comfortable all-day wear. The products are developed directly from feedback by LVAD patients and caregivers, ensuring they address real-world needs rather than generic clothing.
