As pets enter their senior years, they commonly develop illnesses such as chronic kidney failure and pancreatitis. Therefore, approximately 70-80% aged pets are prescribed to SQ fluid (subcutaneous fluids), a medical procedure that injects fluid under the skin.
Currently, most guardians administer these treatment themselves at home. But experience difficulties due to the complex injection process and fluid equipment that is designed for human use, making it unsuitable for animals.
Bonda is a medical device designed exclusively for helping guardians to easily administer SQ fluid on their own. Also its simple and wearable design allows anyone to comfortably deliver the treatment.
As device automatically injects, it relieves the burden of managing their pet's struggles and freeing them from the injection pressure. Which allows guardians to focus more on their pet's comfort and response. Furthermore, the wearable strap structure allows the device to be used while the pet wears it comfortably.
Through this animal optimized design provides a safer and more stable fluid therapy.
Bonda aims to help both guardians and the pet a more comfortable and optimized care experience.
