Patient Care in Mind

Starboard’s Esophageal Stethoscope

Competitor’s Esophageal Stethoscope

We use a special heat bonding process to secure our balloons to the PVC tubes. This process results in a smooth bond with no rough edges, making it safer and more comfortable for the patient.

Our competitor uses glue to secure their balloon to their PVC tube, resulting in rough, uneven edges that may cause esophageal trauma during insertion and removal.
