Hospitals and Distributors
Every time the line needs reaching, the clothing comes off.
Eight times a shift on a unit. Several times a night at home. Ordinary children's clothing was never designed to be opened — only to be put on — so everyone works around it. Snaps get cut. Onesies go on backwards. A sleeping child gets lifted and turned at 3 a.m. because there is no other way in.
PediaTech Apparel makes gowns and bodysuits designed from the other end: not how does a child get into this, but where does the line sit, how does it travel, and where do a caregiver's hands need to be.

Three ways to start
Evaluation samples
Free. One or two garments.
For clinicians, nursing, child life and family support who need to handle a garment before recommending it. No obligation, no purchase, and we do not ask how many you intend to buy.
Pilot order
12 units. One shelf. Ninety days.
Twelve garments across the four sizes that move fastest, in one colorway, so you can find out what your families actually reach for. Freight at cost. Prepaid for a new account. Reorder minimum of six.
Standing wholesale
Once the pilot reorders.
Normal terms, low minimums, multi-location programs quoted individually. Terms available on approved accounts.
The 90-day size swap
Twelve units is a guess about your shelf, not a commitment to it. At ninety days, return anything unsold — unworn, tags attached, original packaging — and take full wholesale credit against any garment in the line, in the sizes you now know you need. You cover return shipping; we waive everything else. One swap per pilot.
How organizations buy
Five different transactions, and they are not interchangeable. Tell us which one you are and we will skip the rest.
- Hospital purchasing. Through your supplier portal or vendor onboarding packet. PediaTech is a registered supplier on SupplierGATEWAY and holds a SAM.gov UEI — credentials below. These are clothing, not a medical device, so there is no DME contract, no HCPCS code and no prior authorization anywhere in the process.
- Gift shop retail. You buy at wholesale and sell at retail in the shop. Low minimums, reorder as it moves, no exclusivity asked for or offered.
- Distributor and group purchasing. Wholesale with multi-location terms, quoted individually. Every parcel carries an HS code at the variant level for cross-border orders.
- Family resource programs and closets. Child life, social work and family support teams who hand garments to families directly rather than selling them. Samples for evaluation first, with no obligation.
- Donor-sponsored and nonprofit giveaway. Foundations and hospital funds that buy garments in order to give them to families at no cost. This is a real route in this category and a growing one — several organizations now supply adaptive clothing to tube and central line families free of charge, funded by donors and grants. If that is your model, say so in the first message and we will quote it as its own thing.
Request samples, a pilot, or pricing
One short form. No email client needed, which matters on a locked-down hospital machine. We reply within two business days. If you would rather email, hello@pediatechapparel.com reaches the same place, or call 513-549-2411.
Two systems, four garments, one decision
Where does the line leave the body?
- TubeWear™ for G and J tubes. The PediaPouch™ sits over the abdomen, at the tube site. Gown Newborn–12M, Bodysuit 6M–5T.
- LineWear™ Chest Edition for central lines. The PediaPouch™ sits at the chest, at the exit site. Gown Newborn–12M, Bodysuit 6M–5T.
Everything else is common to both. Calm Mint Edition and Sky Lullaby Edition.
On every garment
PediaPouch™ — an interior pocket lined with moisture-resistant fabric, with a snap-flap that opens for feeds and site checks. The lining is there because sites leak, and a plain cotton pocket holds that against the skin.
RoutePoints™ — single snaps at the shoulder and lower back that direct tubing or leads down and away from the front of the body. They route the line. They don't hold it.
Dual Arm Access™ — a snap opening along the inner bend of both sleeves, so an arm line can be reached without pushing a sleeve up over a dressing. Both sleeves, so it does not matter which arm.
- Opens flat — lay the garment open, lay the child on it, fasten. Nothing passes over the head. Nothing has to be lifted or turned.
- Metal-free — resin snaps throughout, with no metal fasteners anywhere in the garment. Follow your imaging facility's instructions for any MRI, CT, or X-ray.
- No velcro anywhere — nothing to catch in commercial laundry, snag adjacent stock, or roughen against skin.
- 100% pre-shrunk cotton — no latex, no hook-and-loop, no metal. Machine washable, including in commercial washers; sizing holds through repeated laundering.
Who this is for
Parents and caregivers, first. Staff change shifts. Admissions end. You are the one who is there for all of it — often for years, through every size from newborn to 5T. These garments were designed for the version of this that happens at home, at 3 a.m., with one pair of hands and no one to help. You can buy them directly, without a prescription. Shop the four garments.
Nursing and clinical staff. Access without undressing, on either arm, without disturbing a dressing. If it is easier to work with, tell us what would make it easier still — we would rather hear it now than after a production run.
Child life and family support. A garment that looks like clothing rather than equipment, and that lets a child be dressed without being lifted. Samples available for family resource programs and closets.
For nursing and child life teams, Adaptive Garments on the Unit sets out where each access point sits, how to dress a patient without lifting, and the four limits worth knowing before a garment goes on.
Social work and case management. No prescription or prior authorization needed. Families can purchase these directly, at a price in the range of ordinary clothing rather than durable medical equipment.
Gift shops and retail. The item a visiting grandparent can bring that actually helps. Competitive wholesale pricing, low minimums, and a product built for the families you serve.
Distributors and group purchasing. A textile, not a medical device. Institutional purchasing requirements vary by facility, and we are glad to work within yours. Multi-location programs are quoted individually.
Why the classification matters
These are textiles, not medical devices. Families can purchase them directly without a prescription or prior authorization. Institutional purchasing requirements may vary by facility.
Because they are clothing, they can be offered in hospital gift shops, child life programs, and family resource centers, and a family can buy one on the way out of the infusion center.
At $59 retail, the garment sits in ordinary clothing price range rather than durable medical equipment range. That is also deliberate. A family managing a tube for three years should not be priced out of clothing.

Wholesale
- Competitive wholesale pricing and low minimums. Terms on request.
- Ships from Kentucky, USA.
- Larger volumes and multi-location programs are quoted individually.
- Wholesale to Canada and other international destinations is available. Every parcel carries an HS code at the variant level, so your broker can classify it without coming back to us.
Setting PediaTech up as a supplier
If you are opening a vendor record, these are the details purchasing and accounts payable usually ask for. None of this involves a prescription, prior authorization, or DME billing — PediaTech garments are clothing, and they are bought and sold like any other apparel line.
- SAM.gov Unique Entity ID — WHMBAV4CD2M6, registered 7 September 2026.
- NAICS code — 315250, apparel manufacturing. Not 339113. The classification is deliberate: these are textiles, not medical devices.
- SupplierGATEWAY — PediaTech Apparel is a registered supplier.
- HS codes — assigned at the variant level across the full range, for cross-border and customs classification.
- Entity and tax — PediaTech Apparel, Kentucky, USA. Kentucky sales and use tax account on file. Resale certificates accepted.
- W-9 and vendor forms — completed and returned on request, usually the same business day.
- Payment — terms available on approved accounts; new accounts typically start prepaid.
If your facility uses a supplier portal, a diversity or small-business questionnaire, or a standard vendor onboarding packet, send it across and we will complete it. Use the form above and say which system you use.
