Enteral Feeding

Vitality Medical offers a wide variety of enteral feeding supplies such as pumps, tubes, liquid feeding and feeding sets to suit patients' varying nutritional, usability and mobility needs -- and do so at different prices to suit your budget. Select pumps mount directly on IV poles and others have been engineered to provide a greater degree of mobility and can even be placed in custom-designed backpacks for discreet nutrition-on-the-go.

While every enteral feeding pump Vitality Medical offers is easy-to-use, some provide diagnostic and trouble-shooting features, as well as integrated frequently asked questions guides to assist home users. A few other features offered by our feeding pumps include:

• On-unit screens and displays that provide dosing information such as volume and infusion rate.
• Different chambers for water or formula.
• Audible alarms that indicate if there is a feeding tube blockage or if feeding is complete.
• Intelligent pumps that automatically detect the type of feeding set used.
• On-unit key pads for easily inputting and/or adjusting dosages.
