It all started with my husband who is a VAD Coordinator. Thanks to him, I met a couple patients with left ventricular heart failure. Chance meetings evolved into friendships and together we created the VAD Polska Association. Working in the Association, I kept hearing complaints regarding the limitations related to an implanted heart pump. The LVAD gear tends to warm up and is usually kept in a bag. The bag is a subject of many anecdotes. It is also every LVAD's biggest nightmare. You have to constantly remind yourself about it and secure it in order not to pull the driveline. Did you know that most serious problems are caused by dropping the kit bag? This way of carrying the LVAD kit / pack also has a negative effect on the spine. The constant strain on one shoulder causes headaches and pathologies of the spine.
The question “How to wear the LVAD?” came up very frequently. We have been looking for various solutions for a long time now, in order to make life with the pump easier. We tested various products that were already on the market and have always found some fault. Finally, we thought “Who would understand us and do it better than us?”. This is how LVADLINE was created. What we offer is a compromise between safety and ease of use. This is the result of our search for the ultimate comfort of life with batteries and a VAD controller.
Our LVAD gear was created in close cooperation with hospital physiotherapists, clothing constructors and patients. We have created accessories for people with an implanted HeartMate or HeartWare system. This is the result of many hours of discussions, trial sews and tests to solve the problem of wearing a LVAD. Choose our LVAD clothing for HeartMate 3 – free your hands and take the pressure off your spine.
Our LVAD T-shirts have been in your homes since 2016. They were bought by LVAD patients or caregivers from 29 countries around the world. We aim to take care of your comfort and that is why we have a rented box in the USA, for possible exchanges or returns.
At LVADLINE, we are expanding the existing offer and adding new life-changing products for people with an implanted heart pump. We create accessories, i.e. LVAD t-shirts, LVAD vests, LVAD Heartmate III tanktops, driver cases, belts with battery packs for LVAD HeartMate III and HeartWare users that guarantee a sense of confidence, comfort and peace for many years. We also offer covers for the driveline. We have a special edition LVAD T-shirts for the HeartMate System, with a silver antimicrobial coating. These shirts are especially recommended during the period after the implantation of a heart pump and in case of infections of the driveline outlet. Many of you have asked for a version of our LVAD T-shirts with a pocket for the controller - they are now available.
The pump supporting the work of the heart is a chance to improve your life. LVAD serves as a bridge to heart transplantation, but not everyone decides to undergo this operation. The assisted quality of life can be very good indeed. There are of course some disadvantages, such as not being able to swim or having to plan your vacation with electricity in mind. The pros, however, outweigh the cons. I know many patients with – for example – LVAD HeartMate III – full of life, professionally active, traveling around the world. LVAD means new possibilities, and with LVAD wear created by LVADLINE life becomes even easier.
We design and test all products for many weeks. We test and check their capabilities and properties. We wouldn't recommend anything we are not certain of. We apply particular emphasis to isolating the body from the heat generated by the batteries and the controller. We are constantly researching various insulation materials.
LVADLINE puts your needs first; that's why we deliver products all over the world using FedEx services. We guarantee fast shipping. You gain peace of mind knowing that your LVAD problems will be resolved quickly with high-quality LVAD wear. We use trusted payment processing systems. We offer the recognized VeriSign payment technology and accept payments by credit and debit cards and via PayPal. Now you have the convenience to pay any way you like and can rest assured that your information is safe.
