Our Story

Cool Gel ‘n Cap® was thought up by a father on his first day of caring for his son all by himself. Here’s the story from Timothy’s perspective.
My wife had just returned to working outside the home. I admit I was feeling some pressure to prove that I could handle watching our curious toddler, Lukas.

I was trying to multitask, and Lukas was playing hard as usual. Suddenly, he started to fall, and I wasn’t able to catch him before his head hit our kitchen bench. It was one of the worst bumps Lukas had ever gotten! I was frantic as the bump kept growing. Too scared to call my wife, I called the pediatrician first.

As I juggled a screaming Lukas, the phone and an ice pack, I couldn’t hear a thing the doctor was saying. In a moment of inspiration, I grabbed our son’s winter cap, slid the ice pack inside and placed it on his head. Just like that, all was calm.

The sudden silence alarmed the doctor. He actually asked if Lukas had passed out! After I explained what I had done, the doctor said I should make it into an invention. And so I did!
