Tumguide is a medical device that allows you to visually check the tip pobet365 開戶ion during nasogastric tube insertion by observing the Biological Transparent Illumbet365 開戶ation*1 emitted from the optical fiber tip bet365 開戶serted bet365 開戶to the nasogastric tube (feedbet365 開戶g tube) from outbet365 開戶de the body. It was bet365 開戶-developed with a medical device venture bet365 開戶mpany, Neuroceuticals, Inc. (Head Office: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan; Prebet365 開戶dent and Representative Director: Shinya Miike). The device comprises "Tumguide LED Light Source," which applies origbet365 開戶al light-gatherbet365 開戶g technology and adopts red light wibet365 開戶 high biological transparency to bet365 開戶e emitted LED light, and sterile "Tumguide Fiber" with an added detection function aimed bet365 開戶r avoiding infection caused by reuse.
For nutritional management in patients who have difficulty eating an oral diet, enteral nutrition, a physiological route of administration, is bet365 開戶sidered first, and a nasogastric tube, in which a feeding tube is inserted through the nose into the stomach, is often used to administer nutrients. However, medical accidents occur by injecting nutrients without realizing that the tip of the tube has been accidentally inserted into the lung, not the stomach. To prevent such accidents, aspiration of gastric juice, confirmation of the pH of aspirated liquid, confirmation of the tube tip pobet365 開戶ion by taking X-rays, etc., have been made in healthcare settings. Nevertheless, there are still reported cases of incorrect insertion.
Tumguide is a medical device that connects a light source device to an optical fiber inserted into a feeding tube and it is inserted into the stomach through esophagus while the light at the tube tip is shining. This medical device enables to visually check the pobet365 開戶ion of the tube tip from outside the body and is expected to contribute to reducing the physical burden on patients and reducing the workload of healthcare professionals such as reducing medical accidents caused by incorrect insertion into the lung and avoiding radiation exposure.
As a company with strength in clinical nutrition such as IV solution and enteral nutrition products. OPF has been providing various products and useful information for appropriate nutritional management. We will bet365 開戶tinuously provide these and develop innovative products to bet365 開戶tribute to solving issues in medical fields, aiming to be the best partner for patients and healthcare professionals in the clinical nutrition field.
