Feeding Tubes Accessories

Enteral feeding tube accessories are items that are used in conjunction with enteral feeding tubes to ensure that the tube stays in place and to make it easier to deliver the enteral feeding formula to the patient. Some common examples of enteral feeding tube accessories include:

1. Extension Sets: These are used to connect the enteral feeding tube to the enteral feeding pump and the enteral feeding formula. They can be used to extend the reach of the tube or to provide additional tubing for patients who are immobile.

2. Adaptors: These are used to connect the enteral feeding tube to the enteral feeding pump or the enteral feeding formula. They can be used to change the size or type of the tube or to provide additional tubing for patients who are immobile.

3. Syringes: These are used to flush the enteral feeding tube with water or other solutions to keep it free from clogs.

4. Retention Devices: These are devices that are used to hold the enteral feeding tube in place and prevent it from coming out. They can be mechanical or adhesive.

5. Cleaning Supplies: These include items such as brushes, cleaning solutions, and disinfectants that are used to clean the enteral feeding tube and other equipment after each use.

6. Medicine ports: These are ports that are attached to the enteral feeding tube that allows administering medication in parallel with enteral feeding.

7. Tube Securement Devices: These are devices used to secure the tube in place, such as tape or straps, to prevent dislodgment.
