The Neotech Ocular Exam Kit helps reduce the risk of cross contamination during ROP and other exams.

Dr. David Sami, Pediatric Ophthalmologist, invented the Neotech Ocular Exam Kit (OEK) with ROP exams in mind. Our disposable specula and depressor are for one-time use. Therefore, there is less risk of cross contamination. It also eliminates the cost of re-sterilizing other products on the market.

Reusable devices need to be sterilized after each use. Consequently, they are often misplaced or unavailable when needed. The OEK is disposable, sterile, and ready to use.

The OEK is available in two sizes—Neonatal and Standard—with a two-headed depressor. Its unique speculum locks in place with eyelid pressure, allows an unrestricted view, and opens and closes with ease. Made in the USA. Click here to request your free samples.

What is ROP

Retinopathy of prematurity is an eye disease that can happen in premature babies. It causes abnormal blood vessels to grow in the retina, and can lead to blindness.

Some cases of ROP are mild and correct themselves. However, some cases are severe enough to cause scarring that can pull the retina away from the rest of the eye. These cases need surgery to prevent vision loss or blindness.

Concerned parents approached Neotech to design a new trach tie (tracheostomy tube holder).

One Texas couple understood, firsthand, the need to improve the trach collar. The trach ties provided to their son had caused constant skin breakdown. Fortunately, their son was decannulated at age four. He no longer needed the device.

Still, his parents knew there was a need for a better option. They wanted to create a new tracheostomy tube holder in order to spare others from suffering the skin irritations that had plagued their child. The couple teamed up with Neotech in hopes of creating the finest product available.

They originally wanted a plastic strap. Their experience with materials had been a nightmare.

Craig McCrary, President, said “We felt there was a better solution than plastic. So we explored various material.”

As a result, we landed on neoprene which is the material used to make wetsuits. EZCare™ was launched in 2007. The product was successful, but costly due to the material.

New & Improved

A few years later, Judy McCrary, Vice President, felt that there was still a need for a better trach collar. It became her mission to create “the best” trach tie on the market. That’s when we discovered NeoFoam®. A revolutionary new material at the time. It is so incredibly soft that you have to feel it to believe it. It wicks moisture and stays in place.

EZCare™ Softouch, made with ultra-soft NeoFoam, was launched in March 2010.

Tracheostomy patients praise EZCare as a welcome addition to their medical care.

“Your [EZCare] trach collar is far superior to the trach ties I was previously provided.” Tina S.

EZCare is available in multiple color options with fitted and adjustable sizes. It’s suitable for babies, children, and even adults. It is a more comfortable alternative to chains or other skin-irritating materials.

Neotech is proud to collaborate with parents and clinicians. Together, we identify the unique medical needs of patients to deliver superior products like the EZ-Care Softouch Tracheostomy Tube Holder.

NeoGlo offers a bright, affordable neonatal vein light that requires a single AA battery.

The NeoGlo is a hand-held neonatal vein finder that transmits light through tissues. Use it to find veins, arteries and other internal structures. The NeoGlo features LED lights that are cool to the touch for patient safety. It’s compact size and ergonomic design was engineered with clinician comfort in mind.

The NeoGlo Transilluminator has multiple light settings for user preference:

• Four forward-facing white lights
• Two upward-facing white lights
• Two upward-facing red lights
• Two upward-facing white & two upward-facing red lights

“We like to say designed with the clinician in mind,” said Neotech Products President, Craig McCrary. “The truth is, clinical input was key to the development. A doctor from Israel presented the original idea. Respiratory Therapists and Registered Nurses then added their input. They told us what they’d like to see in a neonatal transilluminator. Next, our engineers showed us what they could do. And together, we developed the NeoGlo into an exceptional and innovative vein finder.”

The NeoGlo Transilluminator is available in eight colors so clinicians can choose the color that fits their personality. It is powered by a single AA battery and will shut off before the lights become too dim.

Our neonatal vein finder is the perfect alternative to the Wee Sight. It’s more versatile and brighter! Click here to see how they compare.

Made in the USA

We proud to say that both of our neonatal vein finders are made in the U.S. We believe that manufacturing products in the U.S. is good for the economy and benefits customers and patients alike. Producing products in North America allows us to better control the supply chain to avoid back orders. Our team works hard to build lasting relationships with vendors that contribute to our high-quality standards. We’re also proud to have contributed to their growth in return. We’ve helped our domestic vendors employ more people and contribute to their local economy.

The original Little Sucker® and NeoSucker® suction tips are made in the USA!

Suction in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and the hospital in general, is a constant. There is a frequent need to aspirate fluids from the nose or mouth. Neotech offers a variety of suction tips that are soft and flexible, yet durable. Similar to a bulb syringe.

The original Little Sucker Oral and Nasal Suction Device was the first to feature our patented thumb port. This revolutionary port provides control to the clinician; allowing for intermittent suctioning. Cover the thumb port to suction. Uncover to stop. And it is designed for single handed use. It’s fits comfortably in the hand and utilizing the thumb port is easy.

Use the Little Sucker Cover® to help guard against debris and contaminants. The bright blue cover is easy to see and helps to protect the suction tip. It also features a port plug designed to cap off suction and reduce noise.

In 2005, Neotech launched the Little Sucker Nasal Tip. The nasal tip guards against inserting too far into the nares, which can cause tissue trauma. Often referred to as the mushroom tip, it is comparable to the BBG (Baby Booger Grabber) and the Boogy Baby.

The NeoSucker Curved offers an anatomically-correct design to help reach the back of the mouth.

The NeoSucker XL is ideal for larger, older patients. It is a softer alternative the hard plastic Yankauer devices. Perfect for patients who are prone to biting down. Watch our comparison video.

All of our suction tips offer preemie and standard sizes. NeoSucker Curved also has the extra large. Each one features an innovative thumb port that allows the clinician to single-handedly control the suction. They are also hypoallergenic, which is perfect for delicate babies and fragile preemies.
