May 13, 2024- Cardinal Health is a manufacturer of enteral feeding devices, and the company’s home care-focused distribution business, Cardinal Health at-Home Solutions, delivers enteral nutrition innovations and products to patients across the United States. According to Cardinal Health, many children in the neonatal ICU need enteral feeding tubes in the early months of life, and many parents and patients initially may not know exactly what enteral tube feeding (ETF) is. Cardinal Health aims to innovate to create products and solutions that better meet patients’ needs.
From one family’s experience with their child with Beals Syndrome and a need for ETF, Cardinal Health created the FreeArm Muscle ETF product, which gravity feeds small babies, and can easily be connected to strollers, hospital beds, tables, and more. New products such as these have increased ease of use for parents and patients in the healthcare field.
