The story

Avanos Medical also manufactures and distributes Eternal Access System to help healthcare providers to fit feeding tubes into a patient safely - that is the Cortak 2.

They describe Cortrak 2 system as "a time-saving solution that benefits nurses of all levels, dieticians, and GI and ICU doctors."

In April 2022, it was reported that a voluntary field correction had been issued by the company for a vital hospital tool that could have led to injury or even death.

Avanos sells its brands and products in more than 90 countries and operates 8 principal medical device production facilities – generating approximately $612 million in net revenue.

In April 2026, Avanos agreed to be acquired by affiliates of American Industrial Partners. The acquisition was completed in July 2026.
