Patent number: 11844749Abstract: Disclosed is a system for administrating fluids to a patient, such as an infant. The system comprises a container that defines a drip chamber, a source of nutritive fluid fluidically communicating with the drip chamber, and a tube connecting the drip chamber to the gastric cavity of a patient, the chamber including a membrane that is gas-permeable but that is resistant to fluid passage. The system allows fluids to be introduced to the patient and for gastric gases to be released while they are resistant to the leak and spillage.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Medline Industries, LPInventors: Paulina Lowkis, Michael Turturro, Luke Stevens, Lisa Bauer, Morgan Uridil

Publication number: 20210369572Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to provide fluid nutrition and hydration. In one illustrative example, a feeding set for use with a peristaltic enteral feeding pump has sections of flexible tubing or conduit, a dispensing control valve that is in fluid communication with the tubing, and a retention disk. In some configurations, the feeding set has as attachment mechanism, which may be formed by one clips or hooks extending from the dispensing control valve and coupling geometry of the retention disk. By some approaches, the clips or hooks and the coupling geometry are configured to attach the feeding set with the pump, such as by attaching the feeding set to an internal panel of the feeding pump. In operation, the feeding set and pump are used to move fluid nutrition and hydration from a container or bag to the patient in a controlled manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: Lisa Bauer, Douglas Komandt, Morgan Uridil, Luke Stevens, Michael Turturro, Paulina Lowkis

Publication number: 20190055066Abstract: A sealed and squeezable container of pre-filled squeezable food that is sized no larger than a single meal serves as a prepackaged, one-time-use, meal-appropriate enteral food dispenser. By one approach the squeezable container has a dispensing port comprising a direct feeding tube connector. By one approach a flow limiter serves to limit a flow rate of the squeezable food from the squeezable container through the direct feeding tube connector. By another approach, in lieu of the foregoing or in combination therewith, a one-way valve can be disposed to prevent material (such as gas or other contents of the consumer's digestive system) from entering the squeezable container via the direct feeding tube connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2018Publication date: February 21, 2019Inventors: Gail Gewirtz, Luke Stevens, Paulina Lowkis
