HANDS-FREE ELECTROLYTE DISPENSER
20230001108 · 2023-01-05 ·

A system is described for the hands-free administration of a nutritional supplement matrix to the oral mucosa. A two-piece mouthpiece is formed in a nozzle cap that accepts canisters with the nutritional supplement matrix under pressure. Bite pressure administered by a user to an upper moveable portion of the two-piece mouthpiece may activate the dispensing of an atomized mixture of the nutritional supplement matrix. A flexible joiner between the upper moveable portion and the lower fixed portion of the two-piece mouthpiece may compress, fold, or otherwise collapse under the bite pressure from the user.

NOZZLE WITH FAN FOR DELIVERING AEROSOLS
20220409828 · 2022-12-29 ·

A system for delivering a composition containing a nutritional supplement matrix to a user through the oral mucosa, in which the matrix is held under pressure in a canister that has a nozzle with at least one rotating internal member positioned between the canister outlet and the nozzle outlet, in which the rotating member agitates the composition to increase atomization to aid in absorption.

Docking station for an enteral feeding device

A docking station receives an enteral feeding pump or food pod into a cradle with a scales platform. The docking station is calibrated to determine nutritional data consumption and remaining available food on the basis of remaining food weight and nutritional data read from a tag using NFC. The station has a sealing sleeve with a sealing rim to confine any spillages in a manner which does not affect weight of the device on a weighting platform.

ORAL ADMINISTRATION COUPLER FOR BACK-OF-MOUTH DELIVERY

An improved oral administration coupler for delivery of fluids such as medications and nutritional fluids. Example oral administration couplers have a first end with an applicator for oral delivery to an infant, and a second end with a coupling compatible with an enteral fluid delivery syringe. A fluid delivery conduit extends in fluid communication from the first end to the second end, to deliver fluid from the syringe to the infant. In some example embodiments, the coupler is configured for back-of-mouth delivery, and can comprise a generally elongate and at least partially flexible tube or straw.

DOSING CONTROL COUPLING FOR ENTERAL FLUID TRANSFER AND ENTERAL COUPLINGS AND SYRINGES

An enteral dosing control coupling comprising a cylindrical collar defining a hollow internal chamber and a lumen extension tip projecting axially into the internal chamber, the lumen extension tip defining an internal lumen extending therethrough. In example forms, the lumen extension tip is integrally formed with the cylindrical collar. In other example forms, the lumen extension tip is a separate piece and is removably engageable within the cylindrical collar. In some example forms, the present invention relates to syringes, connectors, couplings, etc. having ISO 80369-3 formatted couplings. In other example forms, the present invention relates to connectors, couplings, etc. for adapting coupling formats other than the ISO 80369-3 coupling format to the ISO 80369-3 coupling format.

SUCTION ADAPTOR FOR HIGHLY VISCOUS ENTERAL NUTRIENT
20210393878 · 2021-12-23 ·

[Problem] To provide an economic suction adaptor that is capable of suctioning a highly viscous enteral nutrient to a gastric fistula catheter syringe without the intake of air.

[Solution] The number of people having meals of highly viscous enteral nutrients such as blended diets through a gastric fistula catheter is increasing among pediatric patients who need long-term intubation nutrients, and among elderly people who have trouble with oral intake. Suctioning a blended diet on a dish with a syringe alone is undesirable because air is introduced. The suction adaptor of the present invention is used by being connected to the syringe, wherein a suction tube having, on an upper portion thereof, a connection part connected to a nozzle of the syringe is formed in the middle of a bowl-shaped suction pad which is an elastic body.

Garment for feeding tube
11202477 · 2021-12-21 ·

A garment for providing access to feeding tubes while the garment is being worn by a patient/individual. The garment includes a centralized access opening that is closable for portions of time and that provide access to a feeding tube or feeding tube mechanism that has been surgically implemented in a patient. The access opening may be located relatively central to the garment and can illustratively include additional fasteners that can secure a portion of the feeding tube to the garment.
