“Bailey” and “Hope” are the Medi Teddy® IV Covers you can help us give to children:

  • “Hope” Medi Teddy® IV Cover is made from BPA/latex free silicone and plastic and lives on the IV pole as part of each pediatric room set-up. “Hope” can be reused over and over for many children and cleaned with bleach, hydrogen peroxide, sani-wipes, steam or any hospitals cleaners between users. The fully open rear allows for easy access and visibility. You can even write or draw on Hope’s tummy with washable markers!

  • “Bailey” Medi Teddy® IV Cover is made from low pile plush, belongs to the child and is not shared between patients. Like a special blankie or pajamas brought from home, “Bailey” can be washed in the home washing machine and is best for kids who have frequent or home infusions, or for kids who have tube feedings. The stretchy mesh rear pouch allows for easy access and visibility.
