Glow Green:
One of the greatest inventions (in my opinion), is the ability to have something glow in the dark. Even as an adult, I still think glow in the dark things are super cool and fascinating. Apparently so does a company created “Glow Green”, which has glow-in-the-dark feeding port or feed set connector, !

Product Highlights

• Durable
• Easy for night time feedings
• Great for non-balloon buttons
• For patients of all sizes and ages

 

The Beata Clasp:
This product is a soft foam clasp that has a universal size to attach to any size hospital bedrail, holding medical tubing, lines, and drains. The clasp is specifically designed to prevent any kinks, dislodging, and entanglement by holding the tubies in place within the grooves!

The Tubie Guard:
This product is great for kids who have enteral feeding tube connections because it is a sturdy case that protects the tube from disconnecting. The Tubie Guard’s are versatile so that it fits a variety of different extension tubes and feeding bags!

These covers go easily over your IV lines and help to keep the med port closed. Similar to the G-button pads, these soft and gentle pads help to make sure that the line does not accidently detach, and allows the lines to be safe and secure.
