Growing Hospital Industry Drives South & Central America Medical Tubing Market

A feeding tube is used to provide nutrients to patients who don’t get enough nutrition from ingested food. A medical tube is inserted in the stomach or small intestine to deliver liquid nutrition directly. Tube feeding procedure is prescribed to patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction, head, and neck cancer (which make swallowing difficult), neurological disorders (including stroke and paralysis), and other medical conditions. Crohn’s disease, a gastrointestinal disease associated with trauma, bowel obstruction (BO), microscopic colitis, short bowel syndrome, and ulcerative colitis are a few gastrointestinal disorders. Enteral nutrition is preferred for feeding patients with gastrointestinal diseases. As these patients cannot consume food orally, the enteral route is preferred to meet their nutrient requirements. Therefore, a surge in the number of patients suffering from gastrointestinal dysfunction, head, and neck cancer (which make swallowing difficult), and neurological disorders (including stroke and paralysis) boosts the demand for tube feeding, thus driving the South & Central America medical tubing market growth.
