Bolus Feed Delivery System

A kit for delivery of a bolus feed via enteral feeding, the kit comprising:

• a bolus feed extension set comprising:
• a nutrition adapter comprising a coupling configured to couple to a source of enteral nutrition;
• a tube having a proximal end and a distal end, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end, wherein the proximal end is coupled to the nutrition adapter downstream of the coupling;
• a feeding tube adapter coupled to the distal end of the tube, wherein the feeding tube adapter comprises a coupling configured to be coupled to a feeding tube receiving port,
• wherein the feeding tube adapter comprises a lumen fluidly coupling the lumen of the tube with a lumen of the receiving port, wherein the lumen extends continuously in a linear direction, and
• wherein the nutrition adapter, the tube, and the feeding tube adapter are formed as one piece;
• a nutrition source;
• and
• a support for the nutrition source, wherein the support is configured to suspend the nutrition source vertically above the feeding tube receiving port to enable gravity feeding from the nutrition source to the feeding tube receiving port.

A method for delivering a bolus feed to a patient, the method comprising:

• providing a bolus feed delivery system for enteral feeding comprising:
• a nutrition adapter comprising a coupling configured to couple to a source of enteral nutrition,
• a tube having a proximal end and a distal end, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end, wherein the proximal end is coupled to the nutrition adapter downstream of the coupling,
• a feeding tube adapter coupled to the distal end of the tube, wherein the feeding tube adapter comprises a coupling configured to be coupled to a feeding tube receiving port, wherein the feeding tube adapter comprises a lumen fluidly coupling the lumen of the tube with a lumen of the receiving port, wherein the lumen extends continuously in a linear direction, and
• wherein the nutrition adapter, the tube, and the feeding tube adapter are formed as one piece;
• joining the coupling of the nutrition adapter to the source of enteral nutrition;
• joining the coupling of the feeding tube adapter to the feeding tube receiving port;
• and
• delivering the bolus feed to the patient from the source of enteral nutrition through the bolus feed delivery system.
