CoapTech

CoapTech is a medical technology company focused on making gastrostomy procedures more accessible at the point of care. Its flagship product, the PUMA-G System, is an FDA-cleared, ultrasound-based solution for percutaneous ultrasound gastrostomy (PUG), enabling physicians to place feeding tubes at the bedside. The system uses ultrasound to visualize tissue between the stomach wall and the body’s surface, offering an alternative to procedures that may involve blind needle placement, endoscopy, or fluoroscopy.

Designed for use in settings where ultrasound is available, PUMA-G has been used in intensive care units, step-down and general care units, interventional radiology suites, and long-term acute care hospitals. CoapTech highlights potential benefits including reduced patient transport and scheduling delays, improved procedural efficiency, and lower hospital costs. The company cites published studies reporting shorter intensive care and hospital stays, alongside per-patient cost reductions.

CoapTech also provides educational resources about the PUG procedure, including training for critical care physicians and interventional radiology teams, a media library, and clinical publications.
