Winding veils round their heads, the women walked on deck. They were now moving steadily down the river, passing the dark shapes of ships at anchor, and London was a swarm of lights with a pale yellow canopy drooping above it. There were the lights of the great theatres, the lights of the long streets, lights that indicated huge squares of domestic comfort, lights that hung high in air.

Product Specifications

Type

Pump Enteral Feeding Set facilitates the precise and controlled administration of nutrition by integrating with an external feeding pump. This method enables the delivery of a set amount of feed over a specific, predetermined time period, ensuring accurate and consistent nutritional support. Widely utilized in enteral feeding therapy, this set is designed for optimal performance; however, it is important to note that the feeding pump itself is not included.

Gravity Enteral Feeding Set offers a simple and effective method for nutritional delivery, requiring no external pump. This set consists of a robust tube and a roller clamp, which, when released, allows the liquid nutrition to flow down the tube by the natural force of gravity. The feed is conveniently introduced into the inlet port, and the roller clamp provides precise control, enabling users to accurately adjust the flow rate for optimal patient administration.

Connector

Needle Connector in an enteral feeding kit is a crucial small plastic component designed to establish a secure and leak-proof connection between the enteral feeding tube and either a syringe or a feeding pump. This vital connection ensures the safe and efficient delivery of nutrition to the patient. For enhanced usability and compatibility, the needle connector is often color-coded to clearly indicate its size and suitability with various feeding tubes.

Universal Bottle Adapter is a versatile component of an enteral feeding set, specifically designed to securely attach the feeding tube to a wide range of standard bottle sizes. This ensures a leak-free connection during feeding, promoting safety and preventing waste. Engineered for convenience and efficiency, this durable adapter can be reused for multiple feedings, simplifying nutritional delivery in various settings.

How should an Enteral Feeding Set be used?

To utilize an Enteral Feeding Set effectively and safely, begin by thoroughly washing hands with soap and water. Ensure the feeding solution is at the correct temperature and properly mixed. Carefully open the set’s sterile packaging and securely attach the feeding bag or bottle to the inlet port. Hang the bag or bottle on a sturdy hook or IV pole at an appropriate height. Next, gently insert the feeding tube through the patient’s nose or mouth into the stomach or small intestine, securing it firmly in place. Finally, open the roller clamp to initiate the flow of the feeding solution at the prescribed rate, ensuring controlled and accurate administration.

How should an Enteral Feeding Set be disposed of?

Once feeding is complete, securely close the roller clamp on the set. The entire Enteral Feeding Set must then be properly disposed of according to local regulations for medical waste, typically by placing it in a designated biohazard waste container. Adhering to these strict disposal procedures is critical to prevent the spread of infection or contamination and maintain a safe healthcare environment.
