Tell us in the comments. Were listening to teams about where the day-to-day pressure really is, because we offer expertise that can help find solutions to everyday problems in long-term care, from electronic to clinical and everything in between.

Not every solution needs extra equipment.

Tibbe is designed to work with a standard gravity drainage bag, so there's no need to go searching for, or purchase, a portable suction unit.

That also means no pump noise. For residents whose sleep is easily disturbed, or who share a room, there's no humming machine to keep a roommate awake.

Simple for staff. Quieter for residents. One less thing to troubleshoot.

Spent most of the week in the Chicago Medical District and all around Chicago. Big conversations. Meaningful connections. Massive progress for the Tibbe™ device.
The momentum is real—and we’re just getting started!
