The PUMA-G System eliminates risks from PEG blind sticks (organ damage); endoscope reprocessing (infections); or fluoroscopy (cancer) by enabling ultrasound visualization of tissue from stomach wall to surface. PerformanceThe FDA-cleared PUMA-G System has been successfully and safely used for bedside gastrostomy in several different settings where ultrasound is available - in many types of ICUs, as well as step-down units, ‘floor’ units, IR suites, and Long-Term Acute Care hospitals. Cost-EffectivenessCompared to the total cost of PEG procedures, the PUMA-G System delivers a >30-50% reduction in hospital costs, major savings from shorter lengths of stay, and revenue enhancement through optimization of suite productivity. (See UM-BWMC Study Below)SpeedScheduling logjams for an operating suite can delay patient care and increase costs. Gastrostomy procedures done at the bedside leverage the skills of physicians at the point of care and results in more efficient patient care.Reduced ICU Length of Stay, Hospital Length of Stay, and Total Hospital Costs using the PUMA-G SystemGroundbreaking study was published in May 2022 assessing efficiency advantages of PUG procedures compared to usual care (i.e. PEG or PRG). Results show 5-day ICULOS reduction, 8-day hospital LOS reduction, and $26,621 reduction in total hospital costs per patient.

TPUG in COVID Abstract PUG vs. PRG Retrospective StudyA 25-patient study out of Columbia University published in May 2021 in the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine compares PUG with PRG. Results demonstrate that PUG (1) is a safe bedside procedure; (2) can be performed by ultrasound trained physicians; and (3) reduces transport and care delays in COVID-19 patients.
