Title: "Low Cost Children's Breathing tube holder" 

Summary:Neonatal and Pediatric patients currently have a very limited selection of breathing tube securement devices. The market leader hasn't improved on their device in decades and patients still suffer from unplanned extubation and skin wounds. Creating a better and cost-effective securement device utilizing existing device molds, materials, and knowhow could be done with minimal costs and minimal regulatory hurdles. We are looking for clinical input to refine our proposed devices. We've also engaged a group of engineering students at UC Davis to further develop/refine our proposed devices.
