medical technology company focused on eliminating pain, speeding

its high performance CORGRIP* Nasogastric/Nasointestinal (NG/NI)
Tube Retention System. CORGRIP is now compatible for use with sump
tubes up to 18 FR, providing a more secure connection for

tip of the delivery catheter.
Benefits of the CORGRIP NG/NI Tube Retention System include:
- A reduction in unnecessary X-rays for replacement
procedures.

repeated procedures.

digestive health products that improve patient outcomes," said
Jamie Handler, Director of North
American Marketing, Core Devices, at Halyard Health. "The CORGRIP
device is already a trusted product among Intensive Care Unit
clinicians. Extending its use to sump tubes will benefit both
hospitals and patients by potentially preventing even more tube

feeding tube replacement procedures."
