Abstract
A non-electrically driven enteral feeding pump including an expandable elastomeric bladder is provided. The enteral feeding pump include an elastomeric bladder defining a chamber. The elastomeric bladder defines an initial unexpanded state and a maximum expanded state. The pump also includes an inlet port in fluid communication with the chamber, and an outlet port in fluid communication with the chamber. The pump also includes a first fluid delivery tube in fluid communication with the outlet port.
Claims20
A non-electrically driven enteral feeding pump, the pump comprising:
- an elastomeric bladder defining a chamber, the elastomeric bladder defining an initial unexpanded state and a maximum expanded state, a pressure within the chamber is less in the initial unexpanded state than the maximum expanded state;
- an inlet port in fluid communication with the chamber, and an outlet port in fluid communication with the chamber;
- and
- a first fluid delivery tube in fluid communication with the outlet port, and controlling a flow rate of fluid delivered by the pump.
