Abstract: A bolus feeding device is disclosed that provides for more effective and convenient G-Tube feeding. The device includes a chassis that houses a chamber for storing the bolus, a trigger-piston assembly for compressing the bolus, a chamber hatch for accessing the chamber, and a dispensing unit for transferring the bolus into a G-Tube. The dispensing unit includes a port connector that connects to an enteral feeding system. The dispensing unit is configured to allow the port connector to rotate about the vertical and horizontal axes in order to minimize twisting, kinking or pulling of the G-Tube during feeding. The device also includes a collapsible funnel unit that reversibly attaches to the device for enhanced filling of the chamber.
