Medi Teddy Reduces Anxiety Around IVs
Meant to alleviate the anxiety that occurs (especially for children) when an IV is dangling by your bedside, Medi Teddy keeps all the tubes hidden away inside a plush teddy bear. On the backside, doctors and nurses can keep tabs on the device by peering through a mesh net. Intended to be owned by individuals rather than hospitals, the product was invented by pediatric patient Ella Casano, who was diagnosed with a blood disorder when she was seven. Orders can be placed on their website.
