• Countries with medical tourists opting for bariatric surgeries record the highest employment of enteral feeding devices. • Europe is the largest market globally for enteral feeding devices in terms of value and it is expected to remain the same during from 2017 to 2021. Weaknesses • Compatibility of Mini Feed-Me button with competitive existing sets. • Aging product offering and a perception of lack of innovation from customers – link to price offering. • Complications associated with enteral feeding tubes and little healthcare insurance coverage in developing countries are turning out to be restraints for the market. • Not fully compliant with NPSA in the UK. • Access to the market (via partners) – limited understanding of the drivers, price point include distributor mark up. Opportunities • Regions like the Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa and Latin America are relatively untapped markets for enteral feeding devices. • Owing to the rapid increase in geriatric population in Asia-Pacific and Latin American region and continuous increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases in the African region, the demand for enteral feeding devices is increasing at an unprecedented pace. • In addition, the high rate of pre-term births is also a key factor common to all these areas that create the need for enteral feeding devices. • Low product penetration rates, rising disposable incomes and improving standards of living create tremendous amount potential for
Has anyone ever considered how medical devices are prepared before a surgical procedure? Central Sterile Processing Department (CSPD) consists of services within the Hospital, in which reusable medical devices will be cleaned, prepared, and processed. The role for CSPD is to prevent infection transmitted by usage of medical devices. The procedure for hospital medical devices before surgery has a four part workflow process in: Decontamination, to Instrumentation, to Sterilization and Sterile Storage (Case Carts). An example is given for reprocessing an Intestinal Set and the supplies needed for the preparation of this medical device set.
There seem to be an increasing application of Roen-en-Y gastric bypass today by some surgeons. This is a restrictive procedure that has minimal mal-absorption issues and it makes part of an array of bariatric surgeries. However, the most commonly used procedure is biliopancreatic diversion or Scopinaro, which have been used for more than two decades and are popular in with many surgeons more so in the developing countries. This process is intended to inhibit absorption of fat in a bid to trigger massive weight loss in patients who are morbidly obese. It restricts gastric thereby diverting bile and pancreatic fluids to the distal ileum (Consensus Development Conference Panel, 1991). This procedure therefore exposes a limited area of small bowel for the absorption of nutrients that need biliary and pancreatic fluids. The procedure and its variations are still common as indicated above including; biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, which also result in malabsorption. It is however noted that most patients who undergo this procedure also experience severe protein and fat related malabsorption problems.

The patient will require surgery to repair the hole in the intestines, and subsequently will have a drainage tube, NG tube, and feeding tube. All drains will need to monitored for placement/movement, and drainage. Input and output will be closely monitored and recorded. The patient will remain on NPO, or nothing by mouth, to rest the bowels along with frequent assessments to monitor for infection and bleeding. The nurse will need to monitor for bowel sounds, vital sign changes, temperature changes, pain, abdomen girth, and wound/incision inspections. The following labs will require monitoring: CBC, H&H, albumin, BUN & creatinine, glucose, and ABG’s and lactic acid if sepsis is suspected. Careful and frequent monitoring of labs will alert the nurse if the patient develops sepsis, or hypovolemia due to excessive bleeding (Belinhof, et al., 2012). In addition to vital signs and labs, the nurse will also include patient assessment into consideration before drawing conclusions by means of critical thinking. After the full assessment has been made, the nurse will report any findings to the health care provider that require further investigation or

New, high-tech product. Could be destabilized by introduction of much lower cost alternative in a few years.
Passing out the individual trays presented no issue, but my CNA commanded me, “Feed this resident for me. By the way, she can’t eat solid food, so you’ll have to use this device to feed her.” I was definitely at a loss. The device resembled a cylinder tube with a nozzle at the bottom. One would deposit food in the tube and compress it with the cap to squeeze the food through the nozzle. I struggled at first, but I soon acclimated to feeding the resident with the apparatus. And out of nowhere she choked. She spouted a
"The proposed measure appears to misunderstand that percutaneous endoscopic gastronomy (PEG) tube placements are surgical interventions. To use the term 'feeding tube' in this context is a misnomer; 'feeding' requires some level of human interaction with and appreciation of food. Use of a PEG tube implanted through the skin and stomach wall for infusion of liquid nutrient compounds over long periods of time does not constitute 'feeding' in any ordinary sense of the word," the bioethicists' group said in a March 7
The background section reveals the purpose of the study was to conclude if the catheter was safe, effective in preventing bacteriuria and if future studies were warranted. The literature reviewed for this study included articles on the significance of the problem and articles specific to catheter materials used in manufacturing. This study also included literature about the use of silver as an antimicrobial agent. The methods section detailed the selection of the site, the population chosen for the randomized control trial and information on the catheter selection for the study. Also covered in the methods section was information on the procedures used to randomize the catheter selection and the assessment of participants. The results section of the study reveals the statistical data that lead the researchers to the final conclusions. The total number of participants that met the criteria to complete the study were divided into the test group or the control group. The results were then defined by the percentages that met certain assessment criteria or developed bacteriuria and the timeframe to bacteriuria. Each section with-in the article supports the final conclusion that the test catheter is safe, provides a decreased incidence of bacteriuria, decreased time to bacteriuria and therefor revealed a larger study of this catheter is warranted (Leuck et al., 2015).
Cost-plus pricing lead to a complicated pricing structures, since distributors and customers negotiated separate product prices from manufacturers, introduced incentives, let prices vary from customer to customer, covered some products by contract and some don’t etc.
The meta-analysis of all the studies cited in Morrison and Holt’s research, if approved by the CDC would indicate a big change in the nursing process. This procedure is painful for patients and time consuming for nurses. This article also indicated the amount of money and resources that would be saved annually would be outstanding. The supplies used to insert and maintain an IV could be redirected to other things in patient care.
•For suppliers: The company does not ask so much money for what they sale and can give more money for what they want.
This was a less complicated than the procedure of removing bowel tissue, but required a tissue biopsy and required an invasive procedure under general anesthesia. Production cost for Augment was around $15000 to $20000. FDA would give priority in approval to Augment an “orphan” status since the study population was small and involved mainly children.
This is where you are able to determine the price with your suppliers. This can happen if there are a large amount of suppliers and you are buying in bulk. This may force suppliers into a price war.
