OUR FOUNDATION

Our Mission

We remove the "pains" associated with medical lines. We listen to practitioners and develop cost-effective devices that relieve patients' pain, empower nurses and lower the overall cost of healthcare.

Company’s Founding

Spencer Jones, a registered nurse, became frustrated as the patient's under his care repeatedly dislodged their peripheral IVs.  Most of the time the dislodgement was an accident, but sometimes patients pulled them out on purpose. He thought, "There must be a better way."  Spencer and David DePoyster, another Lineus founder, came up with the idea of creating a controlled separation in an IV line, so that the harmful forces would not pull out the IV catheter.  

The product (SafeBreak®) and the company were accepted into the ZeroTo510 business accelerator in Memphis, TN in May of 2015 that specializes in medical devices.  Spencer refined the business plan, developed prototypes, and pitched the product to several hospital administrators and clinicians in the Memphis area. Spencer exited the business incubator in August of 2015 and set about raising seed money to get the company off the ground.
