Hobbs Medical
Founded in 1984, Hobbs Medical, Inc. has continued to advance medical device innovation, with their latest technology marking a new milestone in microbiome research-the CleanCapture™ Aspiration Catheter.
Engineered with a patent-pending membrane, CleanCapture™ protects the inner sheath during insertion and withdrawal, shielding the catheter tip from surrounding contaminants. By reducing contamination at the intended sample site, this device helps minimize patient retesting and improve the accuracy of sampling within the small intestine (duodenum and jejunum).
What does this mean for SIBO research?
CleanCapture™ supports reliable microbial sampling by:
Measuring bacteria at the source
Reducing sample contamination
Telling you which bacteria are present
Minimizing patient retesting
Delivering higher diagnostic accuracy
These improvements enhance diagnostic capabilities by increasing success in determining bacterial differentiation and accurately tracking bacterial growth.
