BAG FOR PRODUCING BABY FOOD, DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE OF BABY FOOD, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING BABY FOOD
The present invention relates to a bag (1) for the production of baby food, specifically baby milk or baby puree, comprising a first chamber (3) and a second chamber (5), which are separated from one another other by a separating region (7), wherein the first chamber (3) is which is designed to receive a baby food concentrate, wherein the second chamber (5) is designed to receive a fluid, wherein the first and second chamber (3, 5) are arranged along the longitudinal direction (L) of the bag (1); wherein the separating region (7) can be at least partially opened by the applying force to the bag (1) in order to be able to mix the components contained in the first and second chamber (3, 5) to form baby food, wherein the bag (1) has a first opening (11) at a first end (9) located adjacent to the first chamber (3) and a second opening (15) at a second end (13) located adjacent to the second chamber (5), and wherein the first opening (11) can be closed by means of a first closure and the second opening (15) can be closed by means of a second closure.
Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for tempering baby food and a process for producing baby food.
ENTERAL FEEDING SYSTEM
A dispensing cap comprising a grasping body, a spout engaging bore and a dispensing coupling. The dispensing coupling has a dispensing cap coupled thereto through a tether. A pouch assembly is likewise disclosed, as is a process of enteral feeding with a pouch and a dispensing cap attachable to the spout. The dispensing cap can be provided and attached to a spout of a pouch (upon removal of a filling cap) wherein the dispensing cap may be provided in a sterilized bag or pouch prior to use. Methods and processes are likewise disclosed.
SILICONE FOOD AND BEVERAGE STORAGE CONTAINERS
A storage container includes an elastomeric base having a plurality of side walls forming an interior and an opening at an upper edge of the base. The base has an annular channel positioned proximate the opening at the upper edge of the base. An inner insert is removably positionable in the opening of the base, the inner insert having an outward facing annular protrusion configured for insertion in the annular channel of the base, and a spout with a channel formed therethrough. At least a portion of the spout has external threading. An outer cap is positionable over the inner insert and has an opening for receiving the spout. A screw cap includes internal threading configured for rotational engagement with the external threading of the spout, wherein rotation of screw cap compresses at least a portion of the base between the inner insert and the outer cap.
FEEDING DEVICE
A breastfeeding device is disclosed comprising a nipple, a housing, and one or more adjustable straps. The nipple is removably coupled to an amorphous liquid bag via a nozzle assembly. The housing comprises a protuberant portion having a first aperture, a back portion, and one or more fasteners. The protuberant portion and the back portion are removably attached to one another and form an interior cavity. The one or more fasteners are configured to removably attach the a protuberant portion to the back portion. The nipple is insertable into the first aperture of the protuberant portion and protrudes through the first aperture while the amorphous liquid bag remains within the interior cavity. The one or more adjustable straps are attached to the back portion.
SMART MILK LETDOWN EXPRESSION SYSTEM
A system includes a breast shield configured to mount to a breast during a breast milk letdown process. The breast shield includes one or more sensors integrally mounted thereon. The system also includes an analyzer configured to collect and analyze data obtained by the one or more sensors to extract information reflecting a condition of the breast.
FLOWABLE FOOD FEEDING DEVICE
A container for feeding a patient includes a deformable receptacle having a cavity for holding a flowable food product and a rigid cover attachable to the upper end of the deformable receptacle. The rigid cover may have a male feeding tube connector that is uniquely connectable to a female feeding tube connector of a feeding tube or may have a female feeding tube connector that is uniquely connectable to a male feeding tube connector of a syringe. With the male and female feeding tube connectors connected, the deformable receptacle and the feeding tube or syringe are in fluid tight fluid communication to allow the flowable food product to be forced out of the opening of the deformable receptacle and into the feeding tube or syringe when the deformable receptacle is squeezed.
Nursing bottle
Provided is a nursing bottle. The nursing bottle includes a bottle body and a bottle bottom. The bottle body is detachably connected to the bottle bottom. Both the bottle body and the bottle bottom are made of silica gel, and the bottle body has an arc shape imitating a woman's breast. An outer side of the bottle body is provided with a nipple. The nipple is provided with a water outlet. The bottle body is provided with a containing cavity and a first opening. A storage bin for storing liquid is provided in the containing cavity. The water outlet is in communication with the storage bin. A side of the storage bin facing towards the bottle bottom is provided with a second opening. Reinforcing ribs are provided between the cavity wall of the containing cavity and the outer periphery of the storage bin.
VESSEL FOR A FLUID HAVING A SILICONE CONTINUITY
A vessel intended to contain a fluid including a container delimiting an inner volume made of a flexible material and topped with a tubular sleeve whose proximal end delimits a housing. The sleeve includes an upper shoulder projecting radially outwards of the sleeve. The vessel also comprises a removable closure device made of a flexible material including a lower shoulder adapted to interact with the upper shoulder of the sleeve so that tightness is ensured when the lower shoulder and the upper shoulder are compressed against one another. The vessel also comprises includes a coupling system enabling holding and mutual compression of the lower shoulder of the removable closure device and of the upper shoulder of the sleeve.
UNIDIRECTIONAL VALVE FOR PRESSURIZED CONTAINERS
In a nipple for a baby feeding container, a valve part is disclosed, comprising a unidirectional valve formed of a pliable material and oppositely oriented such that when attached to the container a normal fluid flow through the valve is into the container while a flow from the container to the outside is normally blocked, the valve is characterized by a plurality of normally closed non intersecting slits formed in a deformable wall which blocks the flow of liquid from the container to the outside unless when the slits become temporarily distorted by the natural mouth maneuverings of a baby. The valve is especially advantageous for use in baby feeding containers of inflatable type in which the liquid content is pressurized under the pressure exerted by the stretched elastomeric walls of the container.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING HYDROLYZED LIPIDS
Exemplary embodiments of the disclosure may be drawn to a device having a vessel configured to contain a source of lipids and a chamber fluidly connected to an outlet of the vessel. The chamber may contain immobilized lipase positioned within a flow path in the chamber along which the lipids flow when released from the vessel into the chamber. The device may also include an outlet through which the lipids flow after passing through the chamber.
