About Feeding Tube (Equipment)

Feeding tubes are used to support a person's nutritional needs. They may be temporary or needed intermittently during acute illness and in recovery. Long term use is indicated for providing nutrition and hydration when control over swallowing is impaired due to progressive disease or injury.
