A unique, new bedside feeding tube placement system offering significant advantages over traditional methods
Cortrak™’s immediate feedback of tip location provides:
- 100% success rate in avoidance of permanent lung misplacement3
- Increased confidence for you and your patients
"Eliminating the cost and patient safety burden of additional x-rays"3
Cortrak’s predictable placement technique:
- Saves on total procedure costs:
- by minimising usage of additional materials
- by decreasing time spent by specialised staff
- by reducing the requirement for additional placement confirmation procedures, such as x-ray and fluoroscopy
The Cortrak™system accurately indicated placement of 20 of 21 tubes into the small bowel including three instances in which radiologic determination was complicated by unusual anatomy4
- Saves time for you and your patients
- avoids repeat placement procedures
- reduced patient queuing and transport for placement confirmation x-rays
- reduced time between placement confirmation and feeding, helping to prevent risk of tube movement before feeding
