Advancement to reduce dislodgement in feeding tube retention
systems
ALPHARETTA, Ga., Nov. 5, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Avanos Medical, Inc. (NYSE: AVNS) today announced
the launch of its newly designed CORGRIP SR
Nasogastric/Nasointestinal Tube Retention System, further expanding
its comprehensive Enteral Feeding portfolio.
The new CORGRIP SR system, featuring a monofilament thread, is a
nasal bridle solution designed to offer numerous advantages over
tape. CORGRIP SR is designed to reduce the risk of
dislodgement and the complications associated with replacement of
nasal tubes.
CORGRIP SR also enhances visibility and flexibility. The product
includes several new features, such as a yellow tipped retrieval
catheter with a hollow tip, color-coded clips, printed centimeter
markings and a unique orange opening tool.
"Research shows that 40%-63% of feeding tubes secured with tape
become inadvertently dislodged," says Kerr
Holbrook, chief commercial officer. "Using a bridle to
secure feeding tubes significantly reduces the incidence of
accidental tube removal and improves overall tube survival
rates."
