Enteral feeding pumps are essential medical devices designed to deliver nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal tract for patients who cannot consume food orally. These pumps ensure precise, controlled, and safe delivery of enteral nutrition, catering to various patient needs in both clinical and home settings.
Overview of Enteral Feeding Pumps for Enteral Nutrition
What Are Enteral Feeding Pumps?
Enteral feeding pumps are devices that administer liquid nutrition (enteral formula) through a feeding tube into the stomach or small intestine. They are crucial for patients who have difficulty swallowing, neurological disorders, or other conditions that impair oral intake.
Key Features:
-
Precision Delivery: Accurate control over feeding rates and volumes.
-
Versatility: Suitable for various feeding schedules, including continuous, intermittent, and bolus feeding.
-
Portability: Compact designs for ease of use in different environments.
-
Safety Mechanisms: Alarms and anti-free flow features to prevent complications.
