The Tube Feeding market within the context of Healthcare Services is a specialized sector that provides nutrition to patients who are unable to consume food orally. This type of feeding is typically used for those with severe medical conditions, such as dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, or for those who are unable to take in enough nutrition through regular meals. Tube feeding is also used for those who are unable to eat due to medical treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation. Tube feeding is typically administered through a nasogastric tube, which is inserted through the nose and into the stomach, or through a gastrostomy tube, which is inserted directly into the stomach. The tube is connected to a bag of formula, which is then delivered to the patient. The formula is typically tailored to the patient's specific needs, and may include vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Some of the companies in the Tube Feeding market include Nestle Health Science, Abbott Nutrition, B. Braun Medical, and Fresenius Kabi. Show Less Read more
