Direct Connect for Easy Tube Feeding
Why didn't anybody think of this before? Many tube feeding nutrition products are packaged in the same type of container but nobody thought to design tubing that would on one end, screw on to the container and on the other end, screw onto an ENFit feeding tube or an ENFit extension set. It seems so obvious that this would be a better way to deliver tube feeding nutrition compared to pouring it into a bolus syringe or gravity tube feeding bag.
This is the Bolink® D Cap - the first gravity tube feeding nutrition delivery product that connects a Tetra nutrition container to a feeding tube or extension set.
What is this Container?
The container is called a Tetra DreamCap and it's easy to spot by the plastic lip that comes over the front edge of the carton.
Why is this a Better Way for Tube Feeding?
Tube feeding can be a messy process, especially if you are trying to manage a child at mealtime or if you have general dexterity issues. Trying to pour a carton into a bolus syringe takes both steady hands and focus. if you're shaking or get bumped there is an immediate mess.
With the Bolink D Cap, once you screw the cap onto the container, the mess from spills is eliminated. After that, once you screw the ENFit end onto the feeding tube or extension set, nutrition delivery can begin and you control the flow speed by how high the container is above the stoma site. This makes it easy to have a tube feeding meal where ever you want - home, school, work, airplane, bus, car, truck, museum, art gallery, restaurant, the park...
What About Hydration?
After you're done with your meal you need water. To make it easy, all you have to do is put water in the empty nutrition container and reattach it to the Bolink D Cap. This cuts down on waste by eliminating extra syringes just for flushing.
