TOOKIE

Tookie Ltd has developed a portfolio of innovative products addressing the unmet needs of patients who have genuine medical problems surrounding the security of central venous catheters (‘CVC’). The catheters are put in place to allow long-term medicine treatment for pain, infection, or cancer, or to supply nutrition, but can also allow large amounts of blood or fluid to be given quickly. In many instances, lines are currently either left loose or taped to the skin. Both of these actions cause unnecessary discomfort and raised anxiety of patients and parents. The resulting need to protect the lines often leads to reduced normality of movement and activity.
