Established in 2013, and led by President & CEO Doron Besser, MD., ENvizion Medical is a medical device company with US distribution headquarters in Minneapolis.
Its navigation device, “ENVue,” harnesses electromagnetic mapping to guide medical-support employees in placing the tube from the nasal cavity down the esophagus, and all the way through to the small intestine, the anatomical location where nutrients are absorbed by the body.
The ENVue device gives guidance through a number of technical mechanisms:
• Patient Body Mapping: ENVue designs an accurate map of the patient’s body by generating an electromagnetic field that connects the device’s computer and the tube tip. The tube tip’s location inside the patient stays highly accurate in spite of any movement by the patients during placement.
• Multi-faceted Vision: The ENVue device’s screen shows a frontal, axial, and lateral view of the patient’s body, in order to indicate the depth and height as the tube moves through the digestive system. This assures that from three different angles; the support-staff member can make sure the tube is not in the trachea, and always in the digestive tract.
• Directional Guidance: The device screen guides the staff member placing the tube with an arrow that shows in white when the tube is fed in the correct tract and red when placed in a direction that may be harmful to the patient.
The company also declared its agreement with one of the largest private hospital networks in the US, with over one hundred hospitals, to provide ENvizion’s feeding tube placement navigation devices nationwide.
