CoapTech seeks to bring a series of breakthrough medical devices to worldwide markets, leveraging a patent-pending, disruptive technology called Coaptive Ultrasound. The company’s CoapTech Carrier™ is a novel platform technology combining magnetic attraction for device placement guidance and low-cost, point-of-care ultrasound for visual feedback in diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic procedures.
CoapTech is commercializing a kit that will enable clinicians to perform a novel procedural method called Percutaneous Ultrasound Gastrostomy (PUG) for the placement of semi-permanent feeding tubes in the stomach. PUG improves on Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG), the current standard of care for feeding tube placement. The company believes that PUG is a safer, simpler, and less expensive method for placing feeding tubes.
