Clinicians
Patients can only suffer a defined number of line fall-outs before reinsertion is no longer an option and the wearing of a Tookie vest reduces the requirement for line revisions, any consequent complications and associated costs
Meeting the patient’s needs, developed by clinicians and patients, Tookie products have unique clinical and patient-centred designs, complying with all relevant risk and regulatory standards, enabling #ALifeMoreNormal for all concerned
Key benefits of the Tookie Vest
Accidental removal of a CVC is a disaster often resulting in infection with serious risk of death, let alone the obvious requirement for further invasive line re-insertions.
Rather than providing “Makeshift Solutions” to patients, which identify an actual un-met need and carry a potential risk, patients can now be provided with regulatory compliant solutions, developed through clinician, patient and public involvement.

"The Tookie vest’s provision of an effective and comfortable method of securing central lines, provides patients with the ability to lead a ‘life more normal’ whilst undergoing treatment, and responds to a real unmet need within the NHS. We are excited to see the further developments in Tookie’s range as they develop products for further clinical areas and needs. The Yorkshire & Humber Academic Health Science Network recognised the potential of the Tookie vest from an early stage. We were pleased to support initial proof of concept work and further product development as the range of clinical areas served has expanded."
