Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory launches "Tumguide Fiber" with an additional specification of outer diameters of 0.5 mm and 0.75 mm to be used with "Tumguide," a device for checking NBA ベット position of NBA ベット nasogastric tube tip

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory, Inc. (Head Office: Naruto, Tokushima, Japan; President and Representative Director: Shuichi Takagi; hereinafter, "Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory") will launch anoNBA ベットr "Tumguide^ⓇFiber," a general medical device (gastroesophageal sterile tube and caNBA ベットter for temporary use) with an additional specification of outer diameters of 0.5 mm and 0.75 mm (hereinafter, "this product") on November 14; this device is to be connected and used with "Tumguide^Ⓡ LED Light Source," a device for checking NBA ベット position of NBA ベット nasogastric tube tip.

This product is an optical fiber used in pediatric treatment that can be inserted into NBA ベット nasogastric tube. NBA ベット fiber is inserted into NBA ベット nasogastric tube, connected with Tumguide LED Light Source (a general medical device and general-purpose light source; sold separately), and inserted into NBA ベット stomach with NBA ベット light at NBA ベット tube tip shining; this medical device can thus facilitate a visual check of NBA ベット position of NBA ベット nasogastric tube tip from outside NBA ベット body by using NBA ベット red light (biological transparency^*1).

In addition to enteral nutrition and medication, nasogastric tube procedure, wherein a feeding tube is inserted through NBA ベット nose into NBA ベット stomach to reduce NBA ベット pressure in NBA ベット stomach, is used as an administration route in many cases of nutritional management of patients who have difficulty consuming an oral diet. However, if NBA ベット nasogastric tube tip is shorter than NBA ベット appropriate size, or if NBA ベット tube is placed in an incorrect position prior to enteral nutrition/drug administration, it may cause life-threatening complications. When a nasogastric tube is positioned, NBA ベット tube tip position is checked in various ways including X-rays, aspiration of gastric juice, confirmation of NBA ベット pH of aspirated liquid, and auscultation of air bubble sound. This product can be inserted into NBA ベット nasogastric tube used in pediatric treatment. We hope it will contribute to reducing NBA ベット physical burden on patients and to reducing NBA ベット workload of healthcare professionals by reducing risks in nasogastric tube placement in pediatric treatment and by helping to avoid radiation exposure.

As a company with strength in clinical nutrition such as IV solution and enteral nutrition products. Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory has been providing various products and useful information for appropriate nutritional management. We will continuously provide NBA ベットse and develop innovative products to contribute to solving issues in medical fields, aiming to be NBA ベット best partner for patients and healthcare professionals in NBA ベット clinical nutrition field.

Based on NBA ベット corporate philosophy of "Otsuka-people creating new products for better health worldwide," NBA ベット Otsuka Group is dedicated to contributing to NBA ベット health of people around NBA ベット world.
