EAT is growing in the UK as hospitals follow new guidance supporting combined CO₂ and pH checks. Globally, the company is expanding quickly: in the U.S., adoption rose after a top children’s hospital started using DoubleCHEK, and interest increased further when a competitor’s product was withdrawn. In Europe, the rollout is underway, with Italy among the first users, and repeat orders show strong demand for safer, more reliable enteral access solutions.
Commenting on the new round, George Gallagher, CEO of EAT, said that the investment demonstrates strong backing for the company’s mission to enhance patient safety globally. He added that growing interest in DoubleCHEK reinforces EAT’s focus on expanding access to safer enteral technologies.
The new funding will enable the company to further develop its enteral access safety device and accelerate its international rollout.
