ANCORIS* Tube Anchor Set

ESCAPE FROM TAPE


Keep nasoenteric feeding tubes simply, securely, and neatly in place — without the mess of tape.†

If you secure nasoenteric feeding tubes, then you are familiar with the need to retape or replace them because they are often inadvertently removed.1
Sometimes feeding tubes need to be replaced for the same patient multiple times in a single shift because they keep getting dislodged.

ANCORIS* features an innovative clamp and adhesive which secures nasoenteric feeding tubes on adults for an average of 3 days.†

Feels better than tape†

Eliminates the need to cover the cheek or nose with tape or other adhesive tube securement devices.†
Minimal skin contact area may reduce the risk of skin irritation.†
Flexible positioning on the face enables the clinician to secure the tube out of the patient’s line of sight.†

ANCORIS* allows for tube visibility and repositioning

  • Small clamp size allows for clear visibility of the tube‘s centimeter markings to help monitor tube location.†
  • Clamp allows for tube repositioning without replacing the entire device.†

Research shows that 40%-60% of feeding tubes that are secured with tape become inadvertently dislodged.1,2

This may lead to:

Delayed enteral nutrition1

Increased risk of aspiration3

Unnecessary exposure to radiography for your patients1

Added time and costs for radiography and replacing feeding tubes1

For patients young and old, and the commonly used feeding tubes

  • Approved for use on pediatric and adult patients.
  • Compatible with the most commonly used small-bore nasoenteric feeding tubes on the market.
  • Available in sizes 6 FR, 8 FR, 10 FR, 12 FR, 14 FR.
