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.

"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."
