"This product is a life saver. Changing the caps on my central line can be very difficult especially since the chlorhexidine solution I use to sterilize the caps is often very sticky. Thank you for your great innovation!"

“I would not be able to return to work without Yewtwist”

Meet Lana, a dialysis nurse working at a small Canadian hospital. Three years ago, she tore a ligament in her hand while trying to loosen a tight connection; it was an urgent situation, and she used all her strength to disconnect the line. After months of painful physiotherapy, talk of surgery and a failed attempt back at work (she was unable to disconnect IV lines), her doctor told her that she could not return to work and needed to find a desk job. As a dedicated dialysis nurse for many years who loved her job, this was very devastating news. Enter Yewtwist, a tool that provides additional strength and grip to the end user, without the risk of damaging the IV line. Her dialysis unit learned about Yewtwist and asked her to give it a try. Today, Lana is happily back at work: “I wish this was around three years ago. I would not be able to return back to work without Yewtwist, and that is the truth! Thank you for inventing this simple but very useful tool to help people like me keep doing the work they love.”

"My home health nurse is just as obsessed with them as I am! She wishes that all her patients had them. They have helped her get stuck claves off me multiple times now and she is so grateful she doesn’t have to worry about damaging my line with Kelly clamps anymore."
