Declogging Tubes Easily and Effectively

Patients who are unable to swallow due to a condition rang-
ing from Alzheimer's disease to traumatic injury often require tubes for nutrition, medication, or decompression. Whether surgically or non-surgically placed, these tubes can become obstructed, and there has been no easy and safe way to
clear them–until now. Actuated Medical has developed a
device that uses Innovative Motion™ to clear feeding and decompression tubes without removing them from the
patient. Designed, tested, and manufactured under an
ISO-certified quality control system, our Tube-Clear™ syst-
ems allow caregivers to minimize time spent on hardware
issues and maximize time spent on caring for their patients.

+ NG-Clear™––for disintegrating nasogastric tube clogs in 10Fr lumens and greater.

+ PEG-Clear™––for breaking up percutaneous gastrostomy tube clogs in 12Fr lumens and greater.

Improving Patient Outcomes

While there are several ways of clearing clogged tubes, none are 100 percent effective. Actuated Medical's revolutionary Occlusion Clearing Systems use tiny mechanical motions to pass into the tube and disintegrate the occlusion without the need for tube removal. No discomfort. No additional surgery. No X-rays to confirm proper placement. No lost time for caregivers. Most importantly, the patient's medical regimen can be quickly resumed.

Improving Clinical Care

Short-term nasogastric (NG) tubes, inserted into the stomach through the nose, are needed for patients whose swallowing is compromised for a few weeks following an accident, surgical procedure, or treatment. Patients requiring long-term feeding assistance often use percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes, which are inserted surgically through the stomach wall. Both PEG and NG tubes have approximately a 25 percent clog rate. Nurses and other caregivers spend an inordinate amount of time clearing these types of tubes—an activity often resulting in the need to re-insert new tubes. Tube Clear™ changes the care giving paradigm by offering a highly innovative, safe, fast, and effective tube clearing solution. Better for the patient. Better for the caregiver. Better care overall.
