The LOCK 3000 Belt secures feeding tubes, peritoneal dialysis catheters, and cecostomy tubes. It locks the tube down and absorbs force from tugs and snags, so there's less to manage and less to worry about.

The Single Safe Strip also provides the option to wrap tubing around the back of the Belt, as a third point of securement.

Less fuss. More freedom to just move.

Pediatric nursing means caring for a patient and teaching a family in the same conversation, often while managing a scared child. That takes clinical precision and a lot of patience.

Thank you to all the pediatric nurses!

Today is Vascular Access Specialty Day! 💙

For patients and families who rely on central lines and other vascular access devices, the expertise behind their care can make a meaningful difference in safety, comfort, and quality of life.

We're proud to join the Association for Vascular Access (AVA) in recognizing the vascular access specialists who bring their knowledge, skill, and compassion to patients every day.

This year's theme says it beautifully: “The Science of Access, The Heart of Care.”

To the vascular access specialists supporting patients and families throughout their medical journeys: thank you for all that you do.

Have you ever struggled with an IV or feeding tube connection that just won’t budge?

Sticky solutions, formula buildup, or an overtightened connection can make something that should be simple surprisingly difficult. And reaching for pliers or another makeshift tool can risk damaging the line.

Fortunately, there's a tool designed specifically for medical connections. Yewtwist gives patients and caregivers extra grip and leverage to help loosen stubborn connections while protecting the tubing.

We’re excited to partner with and add another practical tool to help make everyday medical care a little more manageable.

Yewtwist is now available through Gus Gear. Get yours here: https://bit.ly/4xoroKM

A new episode of Rays of Hope is here!

Starting a medical journey can feel overwhelming — full of questions no one prepares you for. That's why we started this series: real stories from families navigating medical complexity, in their own words.

In this episode, we sit down with Kim Holland, mom of four, whose son Tripp is a NEC survivor living with short bowel syndrome. Kim opens up about balancing family life, trusting her instincts, and leaning on faith through it all.

Whether you're brand new to central lines, feeding tubes, or other medical devices, or years into it, we hope this reminds you: you are not alone.

The little details can make a big difference when a vest is part of everyday life.

The updated LOCK 2000 Vest was designed to make securement more comfortable and easier to manage, with thoughtful improvements including:

• Adjustable straps to allow for a secure fit that will stay comfortably in place
• Durable construction for dependable daily protection

Daily central line care comes with enough challenges. The LOCK 2000 Vest is designed to make securement one less thing to worry about.

School is underway, so medical parents: How’s it actually going?

Now’s a good time to check in on your child’s care routine, supplies, school activities, and overall comfort. If something isn’t working, it’s okay to revisit the plan and ask for changes.

September is NICU Awareness Month — a time to recognize every family who has sat beside an isolette, learned a new language of monitors and alarms, and counted progress in ounces and days.

At Gus Gear, we started because we understand what it's like to live alongside medical equipment long after the hospital stay ends. NICU families carry that experience with them, even as their kids grow.

If your child continues to need tube feeding or line support down the road, we're here — built by people who get it, for exactly that next stage.

To every NICU parent, past or present: we see you. 💛
