The AMT Micro Bridle may decrease:
- Risk of aspiration
- Exposure to x-ray for repeat tube placements
- Use of restraints
- Need for parenteral nutrition
- Transition to more invasive PEG procedure
- Risk of tape/latex allergy
- Delicate skin breakdown
The AMT Micro Bridle is a safety device:
- Specifically designed for, and cleared by the FDA for pediatric use
- Manufactured by AMT, the inventors of the AMT Bridle™ technology with a long-standing history and knowledge of the technology
- Designed by a physician
- Retained by the strong vomer bone, which begins formation at 8 weeks’ gestation, is fully formed as a bone by 18.5 weeks’ gestation and is ossified at birth
The AMT Micro Bridle is the ONLY Bridle system:
- Cleared by the FDA for pediatric use
- Cleared for use with any brand of tube
- Available in sizes to secure nasal tubes as small as 5F
The AMT Micro Bridle was designed specifically for pediatric comfort:
- Compared to the Standard AMT Bridle™
- 10% smaller probe diameter
- 20% shorter probe length
- 40% smaller clip
- Strength and retention force were specifically designed to avoid injury in delicate pediatric tissue and bone, even in the event of pulling. Every component of the AMT Bridle™ will release or break well below the amount of force needed to injure a pediatric vomer bone
- Pulling may cause sensation of pressure, serving as negative reinforcement
- The AMT Bridle™ and nasal tube will break at a much lower force that it would take to effect the vomer bone
