Currently, in collaboration with The Walt Disney Company as a Design Partner we are delivering the Supertee: Marvel Edition. This was created to empower sick kids in hospital and inspire strength through imagination with two designs based on Marvel characters, Captain America and Captain Marvel.

These designs will allow sick children to connect with the characters superpowers to channel their own strength and courage during their toughest battle. 

In 2024, we released our own design, the Supertee Space Commander.

The Supertee Space Commander is a gateway to imagination while encouraging STEM learning and serving as a functional and practical medical garment for kids.

By allowing sick children the opportunity to imagine themselves as astronauts and transforming their hospital beds into a Rocketship, Supertee provides a welcome distraction from medical procedures.

We look forward to releasing new designs to enable children to tap into their imagination. 

If your loved one is being treated at one of the hospitals we already supply, a Supertee can be requested from the Nurse Unit Manager.

Alternatively, if the parent or carer joins our Facebook family group, they can make a special request for a Supertee.  The Facebook group is https://www.facebook.com/groups/hospitalfamilies.
