Cardinal Health Launches Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump
Cardinal Health, a leading healthcare company, has announced the U.S. launch of its new Kangaroo OMNI™ Enteral Feeding Pump, an innovation designed to improve the enteral feeding experience for patients and caregivers alike.
Kangaroo OMNI™ is the first and only attitude-independent enteral feeding system in the U.S., capable of delivering thick, homogenized, and blended formulas. The device is compact allowing for portability and has versatile functionality for feeding, flushing, and hydrating. It also has the ability to transmit a 30-day feeding history for enteral feeding patients.
“Product innovation is at the heart of our commitment to improving patient lives, and Kangaroo OMNI™ embodies this dedication. It’s designed to enhance the quality of life for enteral feeding patients and their caregivers by offering ease of use, intelligence, versatility, and portability,” stated Kelley Moffett, Senior Vice President, Global Medical Products, Medical Segment, Cardinal Health. “Kangaroo OMNI™ provides patients and caregivers with the lightest, smallest, and quietest Kangaroo™ feed and flush enteral feeding pump, all while offering a broader range of commercially available enteral formulas.”
Some of the innovative features of Kangaroo OMNI™ include the ability to deliver thick, homogenized, and blended feeding formulas, an interruption monitoring feature that displays missed nutrition when the pump is turned off, and a night mode that dims the pump screen in low-light conditions to minimize feeding disruption. Additionally, it can withstand cleaning under running water, making it one of the most water-resistant Kangaroo™ enteral feeding pumps. The device offers compatibility with accessories like a pole clamp and table stand, and its screen content can be translated into 19 languages to accommodate diverse user needs.
Cardinal Health is a top-10 provider in the $5 billion global enteral feeding devices market which is growing at 5% annually based upon an increasingly geriatric population.
