Changing the Standard of Care for Nasal Feeding
More than 1.2 million small-bore nasal feeding tubes are placed annually within the United States1. Two of the most common issues with nasal tubes are accidental dislodgement and occlusion. AMT addresses both issues to improve patient outcomes!
The AMT Bridle™ Family is designed to reduce the occurrence of accidental tube dislodgement, avoid skin breakdown, and lead to cost savings; the NutraGlide® is designed to reduce tube clogging through its unique reverse taper tube with inner and outer diameters that increase from the proximal to distal ends of the tube.
Meet AMT’s NutraGlide® Nasal Feeding Tube:
Designed to Reduce Clogging
NutraGlide® features a unique increasing internal diameter and open distal tip, which is designed to reduce clogging.
Decrease Replacement Tubes
When compared to the NutraGlide®, a straight tube is more than twice as difficult to expel a clog formation.2
Improve Comfort
Smaller proximal diameter of the nasal tube within the nasal passage, “may improve patient comfort and likely decrease the incidence of sinusitis.”2
The NutraGlide® Nasal Feeding Tube is indicated for the administration of nutrition, medication, and fluids in neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients.
Enhanced Features:
Increasing Internal Diameter
Reduce clogging risk and facilitate clog removal
Guidewire Compatibility
Guidewire compatiblity throughout the entire length of the device
Safe + Secure
Compatible with the AMT Bridle™ Family of Devices
NutraGlide® is Designed to Reduce Clogging
The inner and outer diameters of the NutraGlide® Nasal Feeding Tube gradually increase from the proximal entry port to the distal tip, designed to allow for improved flow and reduce the risk of clog formation. The reverse taper tube design also makes it easier to remove a clog, if one should form one.2 The 5F NutraGlide® transitions from 5F at the proximal entry port to 6F at the distal tip; similarly, the 8F NutraGlide® transitions from 8F to 10F and the 10F NutraGlide® transitions from 10F to 12F (proximal to distal).
A Successful Combination!
When used together, the Bridle Pro® with NutraGlide® improves nutrition, promotes recovery, and decreases costs.
