Do you care for someone who has difficulty swallowing foods...someone who needs to be feed thick soups or pureed foods? In many cases, patients who need thick soups or pureed foods are given these by syringe, which controls the rate and flow of feeding. Syringe feeding can be unpleasant and prolonged. A great alternative is the device shown here in the picture. The device allows the caregiver or nurse to dispense thick soups or pureed food at a controlled rate. A soft, silicone rubber feeding nozzle can be squeezed to control the flow of food into the patient's mouth. The 5.5 inch nozzle holds one teaspoon. The 8 ounce reservoir has a plunger that forces the food through a side port into the feeding nozzle. Made of clear plastic, so you can see fluid levels easily. Comes apart easily without tools for cleaning. It is home and institutional dishwasher-safe. |
