PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
A sectional view of the enteral tube valve in a normal operating position according to an embodiment.
No product on the market replaced the valve currently used for enteral feeding in critically ill patients. The current product or valve does not offer safety, which allows exposure to body fluids to the healthcare staff and a route of possible gastric infections to the patient. The Nu valve system will change how we use the enteral feeding valve, making the device more attractive, safe, easy to use, clean, versatile, and effective. Working as a professional nurse and knowing about this problem for many years, l understood that a new version of this device was needed that would offer a more convenient and safe option for performing such an important task as supplying medication and food to a person in critical health condition.
There are an average of 5,000 registered Hospitals in the United States and more than 60,000 long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
According to Fortune Business Insight Magazine, the medical device market in the USA was valued at $180 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow to $188 billion in 2024 and will continue to grow by an estimated more than 6% through 2025.
