Enteral feeding pump-Vet
What We Have
The enteral feeding pump is a medical device that simulates gastrointestinal peristalsis. It is used to precisely control the feeding speed, dose, and duration for pets, and is suitable for the treatment of companion animals requiring enteral nutritional support.
· Reduces stress and feeding frequency for hospitalized pets.
· Enables smart continuous/intermittent feeding, saving labor.
· Dual thermostatic heater improves gastrointestinal tolerance.
· Creates new itemized revenue: nutritional therapy, nutrition, and simulated GI treatment.

Why can't infusion pumps replace feeding pumps?
The three devices operate on different principles. Filling nutritional formula too quickly can cause diarrhea, bloating, or aspiration pneumonia in animals, necessitating a specialized pumping mechanism such as a peristaltic pump. Enteral feeding pumps mimic GI peristalsis, delivering viscous nutrition slowly and evenly to prevent tube clogging and reduce manual effort. In contrast, infusion pumps use linear compression, while syringe pumps rely on lead-screw piston propulsion. Neither infusion nor syringe pumps can handle thick nutritional formulas, often leading to aspiration or blockages, despite being equipped with bubble alarms.
