Kangaroo™ Gravity Sets are designed for the enteral feeding process. Enteral feeding is the delivery of nutrition directly into the stomach or intestine using feeding tubes. The Kangaroo™ brand, owned by Medtronic (formerly Covidien), is a leading name in enteral feeding products.

Here's a brief overview of the Kangaroo™ Gravity Sets:

Features:

1. Gravity-based Feeding: Unlike pump-assisted feeding systems, gravity sets rely on the natural force of gravity to facilitate the flow of nutritional formula from the feeding bag into the patient's feeding tube.

2. DEHP-Free: The sets are designed without the use of DEHP, a plasticizer that has raised health concerns in the past.

3. Anti-Free Flow (AFF) Feature: This safety feature ensures that the formula will not inadvertently flow freely when the set is loaded, reducing the risk of potential complications from overfeeding.

4. Easy to Use: Generally, these gravity sets are user-friendly, with intuitive designs that allow for easy setup, filling, and administration.

5. Sterile Packaging: Ensures the product is free from contaminants and safe for patient use.

6. Compatible Design: Designed to be compatible with a variety of feeding containers and tubes.

Usage:

Kangaroo™ Gravity Sets are primarily used in healthcare settings like hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home care situations where patients cannot intake food orally and require tube feeding. They are suitable for both temporary and long-term feeding needs.

Advantages:

- Cost-effective compared to pump-based systems.
- Simpler and less mechanical involvement, reducing potential technical failures.
- Easy to monitor as the flow rate can be adjusted manually based on patient needs.

However, it's essential to monitor patients closely when using gravity sets to ensure they are receiving the correct flow rate and volume of nutrition. Overfeeding or too rapid feeding can lead to complications.

Note: Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and consult healthcare professionals when setting up and using enteral feeding equipment.
