Valleywise Health becomes first Arizona hospital to implement LifeBubble NICU technology

Valleywise Health has become the first healthcare organization in Arizona to implement the LifeBubble™ Umbilical Line Securement System, a new technology designed to provide a gentler and more secure way to stabilize umbilical lines in premature and critically ill newborns. The innovation is expected to enhance care for infants treated in the health system’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) by helping secure critical catheter lines used to deliver medications, nutrition, fluids, and other lifesaving therapies.

LifeBubble has shown promising results in clinical studies, including reductions in catheter migration and high nursing satisfaction.

“Every improvement we can make for our smallest and most medically fragile patients matters,” said Alyssa Munson, NICU Developmental Care Coordinator at Valleywise Health. “LifeBubble represents an opportunity to bring an evidence-based innovation to Arizona that may help improve the healthcare experience for both infants and clinicians.
