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

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."  Recognizing the need for a better approach, and ideal emerged of creating a controlled separation in an IV line, so that when a harmful force was placed on the IV line, it would not pull out the IV catheter.  

Lineus Medical was accepted into the ZeroTo510 business accelerator in Memphis, TN in May of 2015 a program that specializes in medical devices.  Through this opportunity, the business plan was refined, prototypes were developed, and the product (SafeBreak® Vascular) was pitched to several hospital administrators and clinicians in the Memphis area. After exiting the business incubator in August 2015, the focus shifted to raising seed money and bringing the company to life.
