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 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.

The present disclosure relates to a terminally heat-sterilized ready-to-use parenteral nutrition formulation comprising all macronutrients and micronutrients required to meet the clinical guidelines for parenteral nutrition, wherein all said micronutrients and macronutrients are provided in one multi-chamber bag (MCB). The disclosure is also directed to a parenteral nutrition formulation comprising all such macronutrients and micronutrients. More specifically, the present disclosure is directed to a MCB comprising at least five chambers containing a carbohydrate formulation in a first chamber, an amino acid formulation in a second chamber, a lipid formulation in a third chamber, a fourth chamber comprising a vitamin formulation and a fifth chamber comprising a trace element formulation, wherein the carbohydrate formulation, amino acid formulation and/or the lipid formulation may also contain certain vitamins and certain trace elements that can be stably accommodated therein.

An enteral feeding apparatus comprises a pod having an expansile pouch which defines a reservoir for enteral fluid and a gas impermeable barrier surrounding the pouch. The pod has an inlet port for delivery of enteral fluid into the pouch and an outlet port having a seal which is pierceable to release enteral fluid from the pouch for delivery to a PEG via a feeding line. The expansile pouch provides the sole force by which enteral fluid is delivered from the pouch through a regulator. The system can accommodate a range of enteral fluids with a wide range of viscosities.

An enteral bag system constructed of two welded panels.

The present disclosure describes a breast milk and food storage solution that simplifies and reduces the number of items needed to pump, store and/or feed breastmilk to a baby.

An animal nursing system for feeding orphaned baby animals is provided. The baby animals having a mother animal with a particular torso shape, The animal nursing system comprises an outer cover having an inner surface and an outer surface with the outer cover molded to the torso shape of the mother animal. A liquid holding main bladder is enclosed within the outer cover. At least one teat is mounted to the outer surface of the cover with the at least one teat in fluid communication with the main bladder. Upon the main bladder being filled with the liquid, the main bladder expands against the inner surface of the outer cover causing the outer cover to expand to a maximum expansion size and upon the liquid emptying from the main bladder, the main bladder contracts to a minimum contraction size. The outer cover maintains the torso shape of the mother animal at both the maximum and minimum sizes.

A reusable food pouch having a removably insertable one-way valve is disclosed herein. The one-way valve may be used with the reusable food pouch if food product having a water-like consistency is being stored in the reusable food pouch to prevent spills if the reusable food pouch is inadvertently laid on its side. Conversely, the one-way valve may be removed from the reusable food pouch if the food product has a consistency more like thick oatmeal and/or applesauce to allow for free flow of the food product through a spout of the reusable food pouch.

A package for consuming a food product in a frozen or non-frozen state. The package includes a pouch body and a fitment. The pouch body defines a chamber for receiving the food product and includes a cut of predetermined depth to facilitate tearing of the pouch body to create an opening for dispensing the food product in a frozen state. The fitment includes a spout for dispensing the food product in a non-frozen state.

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.

A feeding apparatus includes a food container. The food container includes an open end and a closed end. The food container is provided on a surface thereof with one or more apertures. The food container is made of a resilient material for use with foodstuff.
