What is Tube Feeding?
Tube feeding, also known as enteral nutrition, is a medicallyapproved method of delivering nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a flexible tube. It is used when a person cannot meet their nutritional needs by eating or drinking normally because of illness, injury, surgery, or neurological conditions.
There are several types of tubesnasogastric (NG), gastrostomy (Gtube), jejunostomy (Jtube), and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). Each is selected based on the patients condition, duration of feeding, and anatomical considerations.

- Customised formula selection based on individual medical needs.
