I am Sarah, mother of 2 and founder of Gus Gear. When my son, began his medical journey in 2007, I had no idea what was in store for us! The addition of a GJ tube, cecostomy, ostomy, and central line all happened over time and I had to find a way to keep Gus safe. The biggest challenge I faced was his central line because that is a life and death issue. I created the central line wrap to keep his line locked down and safe not only from accidental pulls, but from his fingers as well!
Gus Gear’s product line includes central line wraps, ostomy pouch covers, line covers, and covers for other items like Farrell bags and urine bags. Everything Gus Gear makes has been used by us on a daily basis at one time or another. In this way, I have been able to personally critique and improve each cover to make it not only attractive, but functional.
Each item is hand crafted with attention to detail. Gus Gear is constructed with quality fabrics that, when properly cared for, will hold up over time. I am very proud of and pleased with these wonderful products and am sure you will be too.
