Brand new device, TubeClear, removes clogs in medical feeding and decompression tubes. Reusable control boxes and single-use cleaning stems mechanically clear clogs which means that tubes do not need to be removed or replaced thereby reducing disruption to the delivery of nutrition and medication.

The device, which took 4 years to develop, is the first to be brought to the U.S. market by Actuated Medical. The manufacturer has further devices in the pipeline.
