CoapTech
CoapTech is a Baltimore-based medical technology company that built the world's first ultrasound-guided gastrostomy system. Its FDA-cleared PUMA-G System lets bedside clinicians place feeding tubes using only ultrasound imaging and a patented magnet-aligned catheter, replacing procedures that traditionally required an operating room, endoscopy, or interventional radiology. The approach aims to make feeding-tube placement faster, safer, and cheaper, and has been used in more than 1,000 patients across ICUs, step-down units, and long-term acute care hospitals.
