Helping healthcare professionals deliver enteral nutrition safely and consistently
Enteral tube feeding provides nutrition directly into the digestive tract through enteral feeding systems, including feeding tubes, administration sets and pumps. Enteral feeding solutions help deliver nutrition and fluids through feeding tubes at pump-controlled rates, supporting consistent nutrition administration across hospitals, long-term care facilities, community healthcare settings and home care environments. Fresenius Kabi nutrition delivery solutions are designed to help manage enteral nutrition safely and reliably throughout the patient journey.
As patients move between hospitals, long-term care facilities, outpatient settings and their homes, they need nutrition delivery systems that support continuity of care while remaining practical for healthcare professionals, patients and caregivers.
Meeting these changing needs and consistently delivering enteral nutrition via tube feeds requires technology that is easy to use, adaptable to different feeding protocols and suitable for a range of clinical and nonclinical environments. Feeding systems can help support individualized nutrition regimens by enabling different feeding schedules and administration rates.1
Fresenius Kabi combines expertise in MedTech and Medical Nutrition to support enteral nutrition across the patient journey.
Our MedTech portfolio provides the feeding system technology used to administer tube feeding safely and efficiently, while our Medical Nutrition business provides enteral nutrition products designed to support diverse patient needs.
With decades of experience in designing and manufacturing enteral nutrition systems, Fresenius was one of the first companies to establish a dedicated enteral nutrition offering in the 1980s by developing and introducing its own Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) system for the European market, helping to establish PEG as a standard access route for long-term enteral feeding. Since then, we have continued to build our expertise across both nutrition products and delivery systems developing products, technologies and services that are designed to work seamlessly together.
Our enteral nutrition system portfolio includes feeding pumps, administration sets and feeding tubes and a variety of related accessories that support healthcare professionals in delivering enteral nutrition across a range of clinical and community care environments.
These solutions help facilitate individual patient requirements, treatment plans and care settings throughout different stages of treatment, recovery and long-term nutritional support in:
This flexibility supports continuity of care as patients transition between different stages of treatment and recovery.
Effective enteral nutrition requires more than a single device. It relies on a coordinated system of products designed to support nutrition delivery from access and administration to ongoing nutritional support across different care settings.
Fresenius Kabi offers a comprehensive MedTech portfolio for enteral nutrition, designed to support healthcare professionals, patients and caregivers throughout the continuum of care.
Together, feeding tubes, administration sets, feeding pump systems and specialized neonatal solutions form an integrated enteral nutrition portfolio. By combining these complementary product groups, Fresenius Kabi helps support safe, effective and consistent nutrition delivery across a broad range of patient needs and healthcare settings.
Through feeding system technology, technical support services, and nutrition expertise, Fresenius Kabi helps healthcare professionals, patients and caregivers manage enteral nutrition therapy from hospital to home. By combining nutrition products with practical delivery solutions, we support effective nutritional therapy wherever care is delivered.
