The TubieGuard is a protective case for Enteral Feeding Tubes

Our TubieGuard device is has proven to be among the most valuable feeding tube accessories you can buy. Designed and built by parents of a child that relied on enteral tube feeding, the TubieGuard is an innovative device that secures feeding tubes at the point where they connect. Enteral tube feeding is used to deliver a patient’s daily nutrition when he cannot eat or drink safely, or is unable to attain adequate oral nutrition. There are over 340 medical conditions and therapies which require installation of a feeding tube for delivering nutrition directly into the gut. The feeding tube helps to improve and/or maintain nutritional intake. Tube feeding is done in the home, in hospitals, in nursing facilities and other institutions, on infants, children, and adults of all ages.

Tube feeding made easier

One major source of frustration and waste with tube feeding occurs due to leakage or disconnection of the components. Jill and Ryan Duval designed and built The TubieGuard when their child’s tube feeding experience led to sleepless nights, wasted formula and distress for their young daughter. The TubieGuard is a protective case for enteral feeding tubes, eliminating tampering and accidental disconnection.

The TubieGuard has proven to be an effective tool for all types of enteral feeding, patient care and maintenance. Using The TubieGuard will help reduce the waste of expensive formula and other supplemental nutrition as well as save skilled labor time, money and frustration. A patient’s comfort and treatment experience will be enhanced significantly using The TubieGuard. The Tubie Guard feeding tube accessory can be used with all brands of tubes and connectors, as it snaps closed over the tubing junctions. No more waste, no more spilled or leaking formula, no more guesswork.
