ENvue Medical launches program to reduce nasogastric tube discomfort

ENvue Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: FEED) announced the launch of a development program aimed at addressing patient pain and discomfort associated with indwelling nasogastric tubes. The medical technology company will integrate vibration-based technology from its NanoVibronix division to improve patient comfort during extended tube use.

The program builds on previously published, peer-reviewed clinical research demonstrating that surface acoustic wave micro-vibration technology applied to nasogastric tubes can reduce friction at the tube-tissue interface during indwelling use. Nasogastric tubes are widely used in hospital care and often remain in place for extended periods, commonly causing nasal and throat discomfort with limited current mitigation options.

"We believe that this program represents a disciplined platform expansion initiative focused on improving the overall enteral care experience by addressing patient comfort during prolonged NG tube use," said Doron Besser, CEO of ENvue Medical. He noted that the initiative is exploratory in nature and does not represent a commercial product launch or regulatory clearance announcement.

The integration program will focus on technical feasibility, clinical pathway assessment, and regulatory and quality considerations to determine how vibration-based comfort technology could be incorporated into ENvue's enteral ecosystem. The company stated this aligns with its strategy to expand beyond tube placement accuracy and support end-to-end enteral care, including workflow efficiency and patient experience.

ENvue Medical, headquartered in Tyler, Texas, specializes in non-invasive solutions for enteral care across clinical and home care settings. The company operates two technology platforms: the ENvue Navigation Platform for electromagnetic navigation during feeding tube placement, and acoustic-based therapeutic technologies including PainShield and UroShield devices.
