KEY MARKET INSIGHTS
A feeding tube is a medical device used to provide nutrition externally to the patients who are unable to swallow. This state of being fed by the feeding tubes is termed as gavage or enteral feeding. Various medical conditions require enteral feedings such as neonatal conditions including low birth weight or pre-term births, and patients suffering from chronic diseases with longer hospital stays. Placement of these feeding tubes can be temporary for the treatment of acute diseases or permanent in case of chronic diseases.
These feeding tubes are made of polyurethane or silicone which are biocompatible in nature. Recently, in February 2017, Fidmi Medical launched a feeding tube that is easier to insert, user-friendly and cost-effective. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1 in every 10 babies is born pre-term globally, which is an estimated 15 million pre-term babies born every year. This is expected to have more demand for the feed tubes globally, subsequently driving the growth of the feeding tubes market.
