Founded with a vision to enhance the safety of veterinarians.
The founder, an equine veterinarian named Ryan Lee, had friends & colleagues over the years that were injured, even hospitalized from passing nasogastric tubes on horses. He always thought that this process could be improved from both the safety standpoint, and the optics of the procedure. Over the years practicing equine medicine, Dr. Lee would pass a tube successfully to empty foul-smelling reflux or gas onto the ground or in a bucket, wash the tube off in a water bucket and stick the tube back in his mouth, while the clients looked on in disbelief or turned away sick at their stomach. These were the principal parts of an idea that took years to develop into a working prototype.
The earliest device was developed with very rudimentary items, but it worked so well that Dr. Lee hid it and started the process to improve it. Friends helped him along the way with drawings that were sent to draftsmen for prototype assembly and early embodiments …. today’s patented device.
