A Better Way to Manage IV Connections

Easier. Faster. Safer.

Prevent IV damage with a simple twist

When IV lines are difficult to disconnect, nurses and at-home patients typically resort to any tool on-hand that can provide more grip: forceps, pliers, rubber gloves or tourniquets. These makeshift tools are ineffective and can cause damage to the IV line. Now there’s a solution for this common problem: Yewtwist is specially designed to help disconnect IV lines easily and safely.

How IV care was given a twist

 

DESIGNED BY AN ONCOLOGY NURSE

Yewtwist was born from the experience of Maria Plummer, a registered nurse with extensive experience in pediatric and adult oncology. Having cared for thousands of patients herself, and witnessing colleagues encounter difficulties with IV lines, she became determined to fulfill the need for a solution. Maria designed Yewtwist to help colleagues who work with IV connections, as well as patients at home who are responsible for their own IV lines.
