Collection: Feeding Tubes and Adapters

Feeding tubes and adapters are medical devices used to deliver nutrition directly into the stomach or intestines for individuals who cannot eat orally. Feeding tubes, such as nasogastric (NG) tubes, gastrostomy (G-tubes), and jejunostomy (J-tubes), are inserted into the gastrointestinal tract to provide a direct route for liquid nutrition, fluids, and medications. Adapters are connectors that help link the feeding tube to the feeding pump or syringe, ensuring a secure and leak-proof connection. These devices are commonly used in patients with conditions like swallowing difficulties, neurological disorders, or critical illnesses, ensuring they receive the necessary nutrients for recovery and health
