Harmful Skin-Mounted Sensors & CPAP Masks

Unmet Need For

Monitoring vital signs without using non-invasive techniques without using adhesives and skin irritating sensors

Read More

Due to unmatured skin in preterm infants, skin-mounted sensors and adhesives create skin breakdown, irritations, infections & significant complications.

Poor adhesion is also common due to liquids on the skin (Vernix caseosa) and skin humidity.

The high pressure applied from a tight CPAP mask leads to nasal disfiguration and severe skin injuries.

Inefficient & limited Non-invasive Respiratory Support

Unmet Need For

Internal airway pressure feedback allowing earlier transition from CPAP to High Flow Nasal Cannula

Read More

High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) & continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are the most common non-invasive respiratory modalities in NICU.

CPAP provides a more controlled airway and lung pressure due to the tight seal around the baby’s nose, however, is very uncomfortable, creates severe nasal injuries, and is more expensive.

HFNC provides a constant flow of air through nasal prongs and is significantly more comfortable however lacks air pressure monitoring and controllability.

Many Wires & Tubes, Patient Safety Risks & Difficult Kangaroo Care

Unmet need for

Reduced number of wires and potentially wireless sensors
Easier parent-infant bonding

Require high effort from nurses for adjustments and maintenance of all the wires and tubes ensuring vital signs are obtained with no interruptions

Hinder skin-to-skin parental care (aka Kangaroo Care) Kangaroo Care provides many parent-infant benefits, including parent-infant attachment, optimal neuro-sensory input for the infant’s developing brain, and more

Put patient safety at high risk as they have the potential to harm patients through entanglement and/or strangulation

INTRODUCING

A Multi-functional Neonatal Nasogastric Feeding Tube Capable of Vital Signs Monitoring

Patent Pending, This device is currently in development and not available for commercial use

IT IS MORE THAN JUST A FEEDING TUBE

It integrates feeding and vital signs monitoring into one seamless device with NO adhesives or invasive sensors

Delivers milk feeds to the stomach

Learn How

Trinity Tube consists of a sufficiently large lumen allowing to deliver oral medications and/or enteral nutrition without clogging or

Enables non-invasive continuous monitoring of vital signs

Learn How

Trinity Tube measures heart rate, and temperature from the esophagus, eliminating the need for invasive and potentially harmful skin-mounted sensors. It can also provide ECG traces from electrodes mounted on the surface of the tube.

Enables continuous monitoring of airway pressure

Learn How

Trinity Tube enables continuous monitoring and measurement of airway pressure using the hospital’s external monitor. This allows the clinicians to adjust the amount of flow provided by HFNC to produce an optimal distending pressure.
This is called ‘Pressure Targeted High Flow’ (PTHF) approach which combines the comfort of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) with the consistent distending pressure of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

Allows venting of excess gas from the stomach

Learn How

Through large venting holes, Trinity Tube allows the venting of excess gas, a by-product of non-invasive ventilation methods commonly used in NICUs, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy.

Is compatible with most common bedside monitors

Learn How

Trinity Tube uses standard hospital connectors and will be compatible with most common bedside monitors and does NOT require an additional monitoring unit.

An Innovation Tailored For All

01.

For Patients

Reduces skin damage by eliminating external adhesives, lowers infection risk, and provides more reliable pressure-targeted respiratory support

02.

For Parents

Benefits them from fewer devices attached to their child, easing stress and fostering more intimate bonding experiences while enabling them to provide more effective skin-to-skin care (Kangaroo Care)

03.

For Nurses & Neonatologists

Provides a unified system that streamlines patient monitoring and feeding management, lowering their workload, and burnout, and improving care accuracy while allowing them to spend their time and energy on more critical tasks than managing sensors and wires.

04.

For Hospitals

Potentially provides reduced equipment costs, reduced nursing turnover, and minimized device-related complications and re-admissions. Also potentially shorter NICU stays and increased admission capacity.
