Wellness Wednesday 💙

“I have been on oxygen for 13 years. I’m 88 years old, and the worry about falling because of 50 feet of tubing is scary. I’ve had my Buddy for a week and I love it. It is the best thing I have ever purchased. It works perfectly—there is no more tubing curling at all.” - June Patterson

Less fear. More freedom. Safer movement at home. Helping oxygen users move more freely—every day with our oxygen hose reel.

"Previously to getting Reel Free my use of supplemental oxygen required me to be tethered to a oxygen hose which would always get tangled; get caught; be problematic when maneuvering amongst the house."

"My daughter was concerned I'd trip, family members could trip over or get caught up in the hose. She searched for months trying to find a solution when one day she found the article for Reel Free."

"I eventually bought one and WOW. What a difference this had made. When I walk around the house using the remote feature allows for me to retract excess
hose preventing tangling, trip hazards, and easy to use."

I wanted to thank the gentlemen from the bottom of my heart for developing, designing, and producing this product. ❤️😍💖

Wellness Wednesday: Meet Susan — a 55-year-old living with IPF who found new freedom with Reel Free.

“It changed my life… I finally feel free to move about again.”

Stories like Susan’s remind us why we build what we do — to help people breathe easy and move freely.

🌀 Reel Free – A simple solution that makes a big difference.

Oxygen tubing should never be a daily obstacle.

Karen’s sister uses oxygen 24/7, and one of the biggest challenges she faced was managing her tubing. It was always getting tangled, caught on furniture, or left across the floor as a trip hazard. What should have been simple daily movement around the house became stressful and unsafe.

That’s when Karen discovered Reel Free. She shared:
“This product is brilliantly designed. The reel keeps the tubing neat, and the guide makes it move so smoothly. It’s sturdy, compact, and has given my sister so much more peace of mind.”

Since then, her sister’s life has changed—no more constant untangling, no more fear of tripping, just safety and freedom to move about her home with confidence. ✨

Stories like Karen’s remind us why we built Reel Free: to bring safety, comfort, and independence back into the lives of oxygen users and their families. 🙏

“Freedom to move safely from room to room.”

Meet Carol & Denny Albaugh — navigating 24/7 oxygen with safety and independence.

“Ingenious.” That’s how Carol describes the Reel Free system. As a new 24/7 oxygen wearer, walking around the house with long coiled oxygen tubing felt risky — kinks, slack on the floor, and constant trip hazards.

The Buddy™ oxygen tubing reel has been a deal breaker for their daily routine. The wind-up remote keeps tubing off the floor so Carol can move safely from room to room without worrying about falls or broken bones. It’s a huge help for family and caregivers, too.

Carol and Denny purchased two Reel Free units — one for Carol and one for a friend who lives with heart and lung disease and Parkinson’s (Agent Orange exposure) and is also on oxygen 24/7. For both households, it’s been a genuine game changer.

“I truly pray Medicare will approve this device,” Carol adds. “It could prevent so many expensive ER visits and injuries caused by loose tubing.”

🙏 Thank you Carol & Denny for sharing your story, and for reminding us why we do what we do. Every Buddy™ brings more freedom, safety, and peace of mind into people’s homes.

Oxygen tubing isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a hazard in the home.

⚠️ Loose tubing across the floor creates a serious fall risk for oxygen users and their loved ones. Every year, over 3 million older adults are treated in the ER because of falls — and tangled oxygen tubing is a daily obstacle that makes homes even riskier.

That’s why we created the Buddy™ by Reel Free.
✅ Keeps up to 50 ft of tubing neatly organized
✅ Helps prevent dangerous tripping hazards keeping tubing kink-free
✅ Gives caregivers and patients peace of mind

Because safety at home should never be an afterthought. 💙

💚 Real Stories, Real Impact 💚

We’re blown away by this message from one of our amazing customers:

"You all are amazing! You’ve made assembling and setting up Reel Free incredibly easy. While the instructional video is helpful, you went above and beyond by pre-assembling mine — all I had to do was reel it in, place it, plug it in, and start using it."
"I bought this for my 75-year-old brother, who lives with me and has COPD and Parkinson’s. He constantly gets tangled in his tubing, and I’ve been genuinely worried about him falling. This device is going to make getting around the house so much safer and easier for him. Even his hospice nurse is excited to see it in action this Friday!"
"She’s actually the one who first suggested how helpful a retractable tubing device would be — which led me to chat with my best friend, GPT, who found this gem for us."
A heartfelt thank you to our customer for sharing such a beautiful story, and to the nurse who planted the seed of the idea. This is exactly why we created Reel Free — to make oxygen therapy safer, easier, and more dignified.

🙏 And of course, thank you to our grandfather — the inspiration behind it all.

“Your product was a godsend.”
Meet Kathy — a devoted wife advocating for her husband's safety at home.

Kathy had been growing increasingly concerned about the safety of her husband, who recently began using oxygen therapy. "I was worried about my husband tripping over the tubing that was all over the floor," she shared.

After searching for a solution, she discovered Reel Free online. “He just got his oxygen supplies recently, and I honestly couldn't believe that there was no way to safely get the tubing out of the way. I'm so glad I found you online,” she wrote.

Learning that Reel Free was a student startup only made the impact more meaningful. “Thank you for a wonderful and much-needed product. The remote control is awesome,” she added.

Stories like Kathy’s remind us why we do what we do — providing dignity, comfort, and peace of mind to families navigating respiratory health.
