Introduction to Tube Feeding
2-3 Proper nutrition is essential to maintaining our bodies' health, growth and ability to heal.
Various medical conditions may make it difficult or impossible for a person to eat, and
4-5
thus deny the body of essential nutrients. In such cases, a gastrostomy tube (G-tube) is
inserted to provide direct access to the stomach for feeding. A G-tube is a convenient,
6-7
comfortable and effective means for delivering nutritional formulas to the body. These
8
nutritional formulas are either commercially available or homemade using a food processor.
A healthcare provider will prescribe the proper feeding procedure, formula and amount of
9
water to most effectively feed each patient.
10
Comfort and Confidence are Important, Too
11
As a caregiver or patient, we believe you have a right to the most comfortable and
12
reliable gastro-jejunal tubes...that's why we developed the G-JET
understanding this guide, along with using our products, will help provide the comfort and
13
confidence you deserve.
