Ben Guard Health makes FDA-approved medical wearables that protect pediatric patients with central lines and other treatment tubing. The company’s products grew from Benjamin’s six-year battle with brain cancer, during which his central line was pulled out, infected, and replaced more than 20 times. Women-owned and made in the USA, Ben Guard says its patented wearables have been clinically proven and validated by leading children’s hospitals.
