Anti Free-Flow Device - My patented Enteral Pump feeding pump set (Detail Views)
The LEFT VIEW shows the stretched, installed position whereby feeding solution flows freely.
The RIGHT VIEW shows the uninstalled position. Note that the "bullet" now prevents free flow by simply "pluging" the hole. Now feeding solution can not accidentally run out.

Balloon Gastric Feeding Device - Patients who cannot eat normally may require surgical installation of a "Feeding Peg", enabling most individuals to resume normal activities and lifestyles.
