Information
Organization's Own Description:
Syncro Medical Innovations, Inc. was founded in Macon, Georgia in 1998. The first generation feeding tube (Magnaflow) utilized a hand held external magnet to steer the feeding tube into the distal duodenum. The feeding tube had a small magnet embedded at its distal end. The second generation feeding tube was enhanced by the addition of a magnetically activated sensor switch near the tube’s distal end and a light indicator at the proximal end. The third generation feeding tube (Syncro Blue Tube) was improved by re-locating the tube distal end magnets to the removable stylet.
Now in its fourth generation, the Gabriel® Feeding Tube with Balloon incorporates a small balloon at the tube’s distal end that allows the tube to advance post-pyloric via peristalsis. This eliminates the need for the external steering magnet and the tube's distal end magnet. Inflation of the balloon at mid-esophagus provides confirmation that the tube is inserted in the esophagus, not in the trachea, by observing no decline in pulse oximetry.
The Gabriel Feeding Tube with Balloon is available with ENFit® connector that is compliant with ISO 80963-3 standard. A convenience kit is provided with all needed accessories.
