About David Usevitch

I'm a biomedical engineer passionate about solving real problems for nurses through innovative medical device design. As CEO of Nursetech Medical, I developed the Cordflex clip - a simple yet powerful cord management solution that's transforming ICU care. Ready to transform cord management in your ICU? Let's connect and discuss how Cordflex can save your nurses time while improving patient safety. Check out our website and demonstration video! WEBSITE: https://nursetechmedical.com/ VIDEO: ABOUT OUR CAUSE: ICU nurses spend up to 2 hours per shift just organizing tubes and medical lines. With patients having an average of 9.6 lines (sometimes up to 18), this "cord spaghetti" wastes valuable time that should be spent on patient care. Poor cord management leads to medication errors, patient falls, line pull-outs, and costs all hospitals in the US accumulatively over $1 billion annually in lost nursing time, and leads to more expenses in the form of trips, falls, and line pull-outs. The Cordflex clip features a spring-loaded mechanism that attaches anywhere - bed rails, IV poles, walkers, even patient gowns. Its swiveling adapters move with patients, keeping lines organized and secure while allowing easy early mobility. In testing, 90% of nurses said they'd use Cordflex and 74% felt safer ambulating patients with it. Cordflex reduces cord management time by 33%, saving an average ICU up to 958+ hours per year in nursing time. Nurses identify IV lines 37% faster, and the device helps prevent the costly complications that arise from tangled medical lines.
