Hi were using Royal cnain recovery - tubes below 8fg add a little water - but not too much - goes down O' tubes and Gastrotomy/PEG tubes no worries just suck it stright from the can into the syringe

Thanks for the replies, sorry for the delay in coming back to this. I did manage to get hold of some enteral care. Thanks for the info on using liquidised food too.

Totally case dependent. Sometimes we'll use enteral care, sometimes convalescence and sometimes blend down a specific diet.

It depends on the feeding tube, naso-oesophageal/gastric we use convalescence support sachets (with a smidge bit more water added)

if Oesophagostomy tube or PEG tube as long as they are 18F i blend the specific diet for their condition or sensitivity if no other problems

hello!

When i was in general practice we used Royal Canin Convalescence Support sachets. It comes in a powder form in a box of 12 sachets. Reasonable on price and easy to use/work out patient requirements.

Hope this was helpful!
