Gravitas Medical
Gravitas Medical was founded in 2015 with the goal of saving lives by improving the delivery of enteral nutrition. Led by CEO Jorgen Hansen and CTO & Co-Founder Saheel Sutaria, the company developed the Entarik Platform, a smart enteral nutrition system that uses embedded sensors to collect gut data and assist in safe feeding tube placement. The company is committed to transforming enteral nutrition through digital innovation, aiming to enable ICU clinicians to confidently place feeding tubes, identify complications early, and improve patient outcomes.

Sensor-enabled enteral feeding tube (single-use)
Single-use nasoenteric feeding tube with embedded bio-impedance sensors to report tip location, available in multiple French sizes and standard length; constructed from polyurethane with radiopaque marker.
Standalone enteral tube monitor
Bedside monitoring unit that interfaces with the sensor-enabled feeding tube to provide placement guidance, continuous position monitoring, configurable alerts, touchscreen UI, and optional battery-powered portability.
Entarik Feeding Tube
The Entarik Feeding Tube is equipped with sensors designed to provide information about the location of the tube tip relative to the stomach, assisting in reducing the incidence of misplacement during first positioning. It is intended for the administration of nutrition, fluids, and medications by the nasoenteric route for patients who have an intact gastrointestinal tract but are physically unable to manage nutritional intake through normal mastication and deglutition.
G2-NI Entarik Feeding Tube
An enteral feeding tube by Gravitas Medical with an operator's manual available.
G2-N Entarik Feeding System
A feeding system by Gravitas Medical with an operator's manual available.
Monitor Power Supply Blade
Replacement power supply blade for the Entarik Monitor.
