Fidmi Medical's feeding tube
Novel Enteral Feeding Device
Fidmi Medical’s new low-profile PEG device for initial placement stays in place, eliminates the need for frequent replacements, and reduces clogging. Fidmi's improved design integrates three important features:
The flexible, rigid-core, internal bumper stays securely in place, prevents dislodgment, and breaks apart for trauma-free removal when needed (radiopaque pieces are naturally expelled from the body).
The disposable feeding tube can be easily replaced without removing the PEG device. It reduces clogging and extends product life.
An external, flexible retention bumper protects the stoma, provides ventilation, self-adjusts for an enhanced fit, and holds the disposable feeding tube in place.
