Inventor Natalie Malkut is changing the way we monitor with BradyBoots
Colorado native, Natalie Malkut, is more than a veterinary technician, she’s also an inventor. She recently created BradyBoots, an eco friendly way to comfortably monitor ECG patients.
As a veterinary technician, she saw firsthand that current ECG technology wasn’t the best for our patients. Traditional methods of monitoring ECG in dogs involve pinching the dog’s skin with clips and attaching electrodes to the clips to get a good readout. These clips can be painful to the dogs after surgery and cause inflammation plus they create unnecessary waste because you have to dispose of after a single use.
SheI had a feeling in my gut, that she could do better, and she did. And that’s why she created Brady Boots. Brady Boots are silicone boots that are secured to the dog’s paws using Velcro straps. Electrodes are then attached to the boots, allowing for ECG monitoring throughout the procedure. The boots also prevent heat escape through the paws, helping keep the dog warm during surgery.
What’s even better is that after washing the boots, they can be used again in the next surgery.
