NG-Shield™
Nasogastric tube related pain and injury (soft tissue trauma and related complications) causes unnecessary patient suffering and morbidity, may prolong hospitalization and add to the cost of medical care.
Nasogastric intubation can result in nasal septal trauma, nasal ulceration, painful swallowing, sinusitis and esophagitis.
The NG-Shield employs our proprietary acoustic technology onto the Nasogastric tube in such a manner that it markedly reduces the trauma and effective friction of the tube and blocks tube associated pain and discomfort. A recent clinical trial in normal healthy volunteers demonstrated significant improvement in the pain and discomfort associated with NG Tube usage.
In-Vitro studies have shown that our NG-Shield technology is effective in preventing biofilm formation. Therefore, NG-Shield may also be helpful in preventing biofilm and bacterial related complications of Nasogastric tube usage.
NG-ShieldTM, is composed of the NG-ShieldTM device and a disposable clip-on accessory that may be placed on the external portion of any available Nasogastric tube providing pain relief and turning the catheter into an active therapeutic device.
