Avanos 20-0002 Clog Zapper Applicator Enteral Feeding Tube Declogging System (x)

The Avanos 20-0002 Clog Zapper Applicator Enteral Feeding Tube Declogging System is a specialized solution designed to effectively clear blockages in enteral feeding tubes. Enteral feeding is essential for patients unable to take in adequate nutrition orally, but clogs in the feeding tube can disrupt the delivery of critical nutrition and medications. 

Key Features and Benefits

Innovative Declogging Technology: The Avanos Clog Zapper system uses an advanced enzymatic formula to break down and dissolve common blockages caused by formula, medications, or other residues that accumulate in enteral feeding tubes. The enzymatic action targets the clog while preserving the integrity of the feeding tube.

Ready-to-Use Applicator: The Clog Zapper is designed for ease of use with its pre-loaded, ready-to-use applicator. The system requires minimal preparation, allowing healthcare providers to quickly address clogs and avoid prolonged disruptions to patient nutrition. The pre-loaded applicator simplifies the process and ensures consistent delivery of the declogging agent.

Non-Invasive Alternative to Tube Replacement: When clogs occur, traditional options may involve flushing the tube repeatedly or even replacing it, which can be uncomfortable for the patient and time-consuming for healthcare staff. The Clog Zapper system provides a non-invasive alternative that effectively restores tube function without the need for more drastic interventions.

Versatile and Compatible: The Avanos Clog Zapper system is compatible with a wide range of enteral feeding tubes, making it a versatile option for healthcare providers. It can be used in various settings, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home care, providing a reliable solution wherever enteral feeding is administered.

Fast and Effective Results: The enzymatic formula works quickly to clear blockages, often within 30 minutes of application. This rapid action helps reduce delays in feeding schedules, ensuring that patients continue to receive the nutrition and medications they need without extended interruptions.

Patient Safety and Comfort: The Clog Zapper system is designed with patient safety in mind. The enzymatic solution is gentle on the tube and does not damage the material, preserving the tube’s longevity. The non-invasive application method also minimizes patient discomfort compared to tube replacement or manual declogging techniques.

Cost-Effective Solution: Frequent tube replacements can be costly and time-consuming. By effectively clearing blockages and restoring tube function, the Clog Zapper helps reduce the need for replacements, lowering overall healthcare costs and improving efficiency in patient care.
