Company
Innovo Innovations builds simple solutions to overlooked problems in the pre-hospital EMS setting.
Our line is the I-Optic Trainer, a laser-guided targeting device, and two securement devices, T-Band and I-Band. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, shipping revenue product today.
Why we build
Every device we make starts from a call that went badly, and a piece of equipment that should have existed.
How it started
A lack of solutions, not a lack of skill.
Innovo Innovations was founded by a paramedic who saw too many failures that came not from a lack of skill, but from a lack of solutions. He set out to build devices that narrow the gap between failure and success. T-Band was the first, created to close the gap in patient securement.
It was built to secure the arm during humeral IO insertion, and crews have since found a use for it almost anywhere a limb has to stay put. Everything we make is manufactured in America.

A new category, not a better version
T-Band and I-Band are the first adhesive arm-securement devices purpose-built for IO access. Plenty of companies sell into this call, and none of them address securement or targeting. We are not competing for shelf space with a cheaper needle. We are adding a step that did not have a product.
