Transforming blind nasogastric tube placement into
an ultrasound-guided procedure to enhance neonatal safety and care
Safe, rapid, and reliable NG tube placement confirmation
Current methods for placing nasogastric tubes are inaccurate or inefficient because pH testing and external measurements are unreliable, while X-rays expose newborns to radiation and can delay care
EchoTube combines ultrasound visible echogenic bands with a pH-responsive distal tip to enable real-time bedside confirmation of neonatal NG tube placement
The market should grow by $30 million in the next five years and the growth is primarily driven by the needs of doctors, nurses, and neonates
Compared to our competitors, EchoTube provides safe, reliable, and radiation-free bedside nasogastric (NG) tube verification for neonates
