Keep Babies Safe and Save Your Hospital Money with Easy-to-Use TootSweet
Sucrose is a proven, effective method of helping to calm and soothe babies. It is also an ideal medium to grow bugs! Contamination can occur from airborne bacteria, contact with oral flora from re-dipped pacifiers or mucosal contact with oral syringes. Independent studies found non-preserved 24% sucrose became highly contaminated (53 large colonies, and small colonies too numerous to count) with bacteria and mold in a matter of hours after contact with a pacifier used by an infant.

Does Your Sucrose Pass the Tests for USP Preservative Safety Effectiveness?
TootSweet's formulation of preservatives has been tested in accordance with USP Preservative Effectiveness Tests (27 NF 22 2004). The test results meet current USP criteria for Antimicrobial Preservative Effectiveness. ISO certified Toxikon Testing Laboratory separately inoculated 20ml aliquots of TootSweet with 1.0 x 106 of the following organisms: Aspergillus nigar, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginos and Staphylococcus aureus. The test results met current USP criteria for Antimicrobial Preservative Effectiveness Test. (Copy of report available on request.)
The FIRST Sucrose Solution That's guaranteed Bacteria and Mold-Free
TootSweet is the first and only sucrose solution that we know of to meet these standards. That means with TootSweet you can be sure your newborns and fragile preemies are not exposed to potentially harmful sucrose borne bacteria. TootSweet's preservatives are found in Ora-Sweet®, Gentamicin, Caffeine Citrate, and other products commonly administered to preemies and full-term babies.
TootSweet in Convenient Twist-Tip™ Vials
Clinicians told us they wanted a convenient way to administer sucrose for heel sticks and other procedures. The Twist-Tip vials are perfect when you want a small amount of sucrose, when you're pressed for time or when babies are in transport and a cup would be unstable and messy. The smaller dose size means less waste and the Twist-Tip vials cost a few pennies less than the cups. Each drop is approximately 40ul (microliters). You can lay the vial on its side without dripping for easy re-application to the same baby, during the same procedure.
