Hello

This is Our Story

MediBear / Ben’s MediBear® were inspired by my own children, one of which has special needs (tracheostomy/Ventilated, epilepsy & PEG fed), we wanted his siblings to avoid pulling on his “devices”, and likewise him also not to pull.

We wanted to show them that not everyone is the same, as that would be very boring, but we all need love, attention and to be played with, but maybe in different ways than others, and also, while it’s ok to touch the “devices”, we really aren’t allowed to pull at them, because it hurts

We also wanted the adults in our family and friends circle, to see the devices, on a bear, which is tactile, and more user friendly, than on a “sick child”, (adults are frightened it seems by children and medical devices!)

In turn, they could appreciate, and understand our child’s needs that little bit better, to educate them and encourage acceptance

Our aim, is to “operate” on our bears, to be as unique as each child that needs them.

We know how expensive having a disabled child is so we do this as a not-for-profit for the benefit of the community/others.

It is important to note – bears are made from all new, non toxic materials, they are stuffed with polyester fibre, they are UK & EU C.E approved & are surface clean only.

They are NOT A TOY.

The bears are a learning and educational tool, appropriate supervision must be given during use.

If a bear or device becomes damaged, please discontinue use.

Let’s take the next step and work together
