One Doctor’s Need To Find a Better Way.

The Button Huggie project was started by Dr. Steve Moulton, a pediatric surgeon at Children’s Hospital Colorado. It was born from the frustration of dealing with a multitude of gastrostomy button related problems on an almost daily basis, the clear absence of a solution, and the knowledge that a growing number of children and adults are living with low profile enteral access devices. It all started with two grants from the CU Department of Surgery, which enabled Dr. Moulton to sponsor a group of graduate students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Colorado Boulder. Ezalife Inc. was formed to bring The Button Huggie, along with other securement devices, to market.

  • Our Mission

    Simple, Safe, Secure

    Ezalife’s mission is to elevate post-operative care and enhance quality of life for patients—both children and adults—with “simple, safe, secure” medical devices. Our goal is to reduce post-op complications and enable users to return to daily life more quickly and confidently.

  • Our Purpose

    For every parent to have a little less stress and for every patient to feel like a kid again. 

    We’re determined to replace ineffective and outdated care methods (like tape/gauze for g‑buttons) with clinically designed, patient-friendly solutions that minimize complications and empower recovery.
