Who We Are
KCBioMedix™ develops innovative medical products to solve feeding issues in premature infants. Its first breakthrough device, the NTrainer System®, enables neonatal care units to assess and then provide therapy to develop infant non-nutritive suck – a vital skill that has been linked to faster transition to oral feeds (1-5), more rapid weight gain (6-7), shortened hospital stays (8-11), and reduced hospital costs (8-11).
The Problem We Solve
Difficulties with oral feeding are a common problem in preterm infants12,13,14 Failure to transition to oral feeding has been shown to slow weight gain and increase the length of hospital stay15, causing stress for the family while driving up the cost of care.
KCBioMedix™ is dedicated to solving feeding issues in premature infants. Its first product, the NTrainer System ®, is a revolutionary FDA-listed device that delivers a reliable quantitative assessment of an infant’s ability to suck , and then administers therapy to help it improve.
