Traditional Feeding Tubes Force an Impossible Choice

Patients choose between visible hardware taped to their face or a permanent hole in their abdomen. Over half a million Americans live with this reality — and most who need a tube refuse one entirely.

🚫
80%

Refuse Due to Stigma

Patients who refuse feeding tubes cite social stigma and body image concerns — not medical fears. Current options make illness visible to everyone.

Americans with Feeding Tubes

Patients across oncology, neurology, and geriatric care depend on enteral nutrition. Nasogastric tubes dislodge. PEG tubes require surgery. Neither is invisible.

GLP-1 Discontinuers

Millions stop weight loss drugs due to intolerable nausea and gastroparesis. They want results without perpetual side effects. No viable alternative exists today.

Invisible. Removable. Non-Surgical.

The Alsteni System uses orthodontic-grade molar bands with a transpalatal arch to anchor a completely removable feeding tube inside the mouth. When the tube isn't in use, nothing is visible.

👁

Completely Invisible

No tape on the face. No nasal tube. No stoma. The anchor is hidden inside the mouth; the tube disappears when removed.

Fully Removable

Patients insert and remove the tube themselves at home. No clinic visits for tube changes. Complete control over when feeding occurs.

Non-Surgical

Anchor placed in a single dental visit. No anesthesia, no incision, no recovery time. Fully reversible — remove the anchor and nothing remains.

Patent Protected Through 2039

Issued U.S. Patent 10,744,070 B2 with additional applications pending. Notice of Allowance received January 2026.

A Platform Built for Multiple Applications

A single FDA 510(k) clearance unlocks two large, underserved markets. Same device, same training, same supply chain — two revenue streams from day one.

Alsteni Nourish

Enteral Nutrition
