CoapTech is a Baltimore medical device startup working on a system to place feeding tubes using ultrasound. Its flagship device, called PUMA-G, uses ultrasound and magnets to enable feeding tube placement. The device is designed to be completed by a clinician at the bedside rather than requiring a surgical setting. The concept grew from founder Dr. Steven Tropello's observation of patients waiting days for specialist placement. The company was founded by Dr. Steven Tropello, a critical care physician at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, and clinical innovation researcher Howard Carolan. CoapTech is continuing commercialization activities and recently raised $7 million in a Series B round.
