Your one-stop-shop for assisting with excess tubing associated with central lines, feeding tubes, dialysis lines, insulin pump tubes, and related devices!
No more fussing around with loose tubing, irritated skin from excess heavy adhesive tape, or worrying about accidentally removing exposed lines!
Karen Kagan originally thought of the idea when her oldest son Gabriel underwent multiple central lines. When he was just 10 months of age, she was told he desperately needed a new liver and Karen, being a match, heroically donated a piece of hers to save his life.
Gabriel started undergoing central lines soon after his transplant. Standard procedure with central lines and similar devices requires taping the external IV lines directly to the skin with heavy adhesives. Unfortunately, this can irritate the skin and result in tugging that starts to expose the insertion point and bring on infections.
Taping down his external lines just seemed to make it worse and he later needed a replacement due to all the tugging and disruption that happened with the exit site. Karen needed something that could keep his lines in place and still allow him to be the active kid he wanted to be.
This was when she had the brilliant idea for the
Tube Tender!
Gabriel Kagan, is, as you guessed it, the infamous Gabriel mentioned above. It’s been a long time since he’s had to use a Tube Tender but he understands first-hand how beneficial this product can be for patients/caregivers everywhere and is eager to start making it a reality for them and bring his moms vision to life!
Evan Kagan, Karen’s middle child and Gabriel’s younger brother, has also seen up close how beneficial the Tube Tender was for his brother and how it can help others as well. He has previous experience in start-up businesses and is just as eager as the rest of the family to apply his expertise to the business.
"During the time (my child's) CVC was in place it was used regularly for infusions of IV medications and blood draws both at the hospital and at home for over six months. Both my husband and I, and the hospital nurses, found it easy to use. Nurses were really impressed with the holder and felt it made their job easier. We were extremely relieved to know that the lines were always clean and secure. With the lines safe and secure our child was able to run, jump and play right along with his friends. the Tube Tender certainly made a difficult time in our lives a lot easier"
"I feel this is a product that can have a great impact on quality of life. It's well designed for comfort and ease of use for both patient and nurse."
