feeding pump
Enteral infusion device
A feeding pump is a medical device that delivers liquid nutrition through a tube directly into the stomach or intestines.
It controls the rate and volume of formula for patients who cannot eat by mouth—whether due to illness, injury, or digestive disorders.
The nurse programmed the feeding pump to run overnight.
