PRESS RELEASE
New unique tube for probiotic cultures in tube-feeding
BIOGAIA AB is adopting it’s patented* LifeTop Straw product
to also fit into tube-feeding systems for hospitalized patients.
LifeTop Straw is a innovative product from BIOGAIA, containing
sensitive ingredients inside the straw, for addition to various drinks and
liquids during consumption.
Now the purpose is to deliver oxygen and water sensitive
components in a cost effective way to EN (enteral nutrition-tube feeding)
patients. For more than 20 years producers of EN products have had problems
delivering oxygen and water sensitive components like e.g.� vitamins, trace elements and in recent years
probiotic bacteria, such as BIOGAIA´s proprietary Reuteri culture, this problem

For example Reuteri-culture inside tube.

Earlier attempts to overcome this problem have included adding
an extra chamber in the EN bag, adding injector chamber or extra injection
ports. These solutions have all been less successful mainly because they are
both expensive and difficult to produce and impractical for routine use. Today
the problem is being solved by adding the substance manually with a syringe,
which in many cases is both impractical and labor requiring.
The application of the BIOGAIA LifeTop straw invention
isolates the sensitive components from the bag and its content. This is
achieved by applying the special tube connector as a separate part of the
delivery line. The tube connector is fully separated fr...
