ENvizion Medical is a medical device company founded in 2013. Its electromagnetic navigation technology has transformed the procedure of enteral feeding by taking it to a new level of precision and safety.
Immediate nutrition is crucial for patients who are mechanically ventilated, in ICU, post major surgery or born prematurely. All are at risk for a significant deterioration in their medical condition or at worst can die, if they do not receive adequate nutrition through a tube to their small bowel.
Annually, 27 million feeding tubes are placed worldwide to provide nutrition to patients. Most tubes are placed blindly without any visual guidance, resulting in a four to five percent chance they will accidentally be placed in the lungs. This occurrence severely impacts on the health of the patient and in a worst case scenario can prove fatal.
Recognizing the critical need for early feeding in small bowel and lower the risk of tube misplacement, ENvizion applied its expertise in electromagnetic navigation and enteral feeding to develop the ENvue® system.
