Stabilization is care.

When patients require advanced medical treatment, one of the most important things we can do as caregivers is avoid causing additional pain and discomfort. We design our FlexGRIP catheter cushions and mechanical stabilization devices with the aim of supporting doctors and nurses to reduce catheter-related complications.

These four principles help guide the development of our superior products:

Innovative.

Where others stop at “good enough,” we go for better.

Focusing on skin-safe adhesives and developing our air pillow and needle-free technologies to continuously advance the science of securement.

Impactful.

Positively impacting your patient’s quality of life and our health care budgets.

Many small wins make a huge difference. That’s what inspires us. Every single day.

Inconspicuous

The lower the profile, the better.

No snagging, no pulling. Just soft, flexible and skin-safe. FlexGRIP is designed to reduce medical adhesive-related injuries (MARSIs) as well as virtually all other catheter complications – from the neonate nursery to the nursing home.

Intuitive.

We believe in making catheter securement easier for you.

FlexGRIP is simple to use. Easy on and easy off.

Our Mission

To provide the best catheter care possible, using the most up-to-date science and technology. To get there, we place our four principal values at the forefront.

Our Values

Patient First. Always.
We stay true to our story. We started from the patient experience and continue to do so. If it doesn’t benefit the patient, why bother?

There is Good. There’s Better. There’s FlexGRIP.
Never stop improving. The moment you settle for good, innovation stops. Together we can move the needle!

No need to shout. We hear you.
You know what is best for you, as a caregiver and as a patient. We prioritize user feedback to continuously improve our products.

We spell GRIT with a P.
Building a successful story is not always a walk in the park. When the going gets tough, we get tougher! Determined to reach our ambition.

We see solutions.
Some only see problems. We see a road paved with ideas and creativity, leading to solutions. It’s in our mindset.
