Caring for a child with a feeding tube is not just a medical challenge. It is an everyday emotional and logistical burden for families. Dislodged tubes, emergency room visits, interrupted sleep, and constant anxiety are part of daily life for many parents.

In this episode of Invst Guru, host Jeff “fuzzy” Wenzel speaks with the team behind Ezalife, a pediatric medical device company focused on solving one very specific but deeply impactful problem. Keeping feeding tubes secure so kids can move, play, and live more normal lives.

Ezalife developed a simple, FDA-exempt securement device that helps reduce accidental tube dislodgement and gives parents peace of mind at home, at school, and on the go. What started as a pediatric surgeon’s idea has grown into a company working to establish a new standard of care for children with G-tubes.

In this conversation, we cover:

• The real daily challenges families face when caring for children with feeding tubes.

• Why small medical problems often lead to big emotional stress?

• How a simple product can prevent unnecessary ER visits?

• Why Ezalife chose a direct-to-consumer approach before hospital adoption?

• How parent-to-parent advocacy drives growth in pediatric healthcare?

• The realities of building and manufacturing a medical device.

• Fundraising, crowdfunding, and the path to broader hospital and insurance adoption.

This episode is for parents, caregivers, healthcare professionals, medtech founders, and investors who want to understand how thoughtful design and patient-first thinking can make a meaningful difference in real lives.
