Currently, the increasing use of low-profile feeding tubes is replacing standard G-tubes used for providing enteral nutrition. Low-profile tubes provide feeds to patients directly through the abdomen. They terminate at skin level, are more easily hidden, and incur fewer accidental removals than G-tubes which have longer length of exposed tubing. Moreover, low-profile tubes with balloon can be replaced at home without the need for anesthetic or hospital admission.
One of the main drivers in this market is the increase in rate of premature births. Preterm infants are not able to control and coordinate sucking, swallowing or breathing thus, generating the need for enteral feeding devices to provide them with sufficient nutritional requirements for growth and development. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the complications with enteral feeding tubes such as tube blockage, aspiration pneumonia, and contamination of feed.
