The new CORGRIP SR system, featuring a monofilament thread, is a nasal bridle solution designed to offer numerous advantages over tape. CORGRIP SR is designed to reduce the risk of dislodgement and the complications associated with replacement of nasal tubes.

CORGRIP SR also enhances visibility and flexibility. The product includes several new features, such as a yellow tipped retrieval catheter with a hollow tip, color-coded clips, printed centimeter markings and a unique orange opening tool.
