Product Description

PaediaSure is a 1.0 kcal/ml complete, balanced nutrition for children weighing 8-30kg. This specialized paediatric formula is designed for use under medical supervision and is suitable as a sole source of nutrition or as a nutritional supplement for children who cannot or will not eat sufficient quantities of everyday food and drink to meet their nutritional requirements.

The formula features a balanced macronutrient profile with protein providing 11.13% of energy, carbohydrates 44.35%, and fat 44.52%. It contains high-quality protein sources including milk protein isolate, sodium caseinate, and whey protein concentrate. The fat blend includes MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) for easier absorption.

PaediaSure is nutritionally complete for vitamins and minerals in varying volumes depending on the child's age group (excluding electrolytes, calculated using the UK Reference Nutrient Intake). Available in 200ml bottles in banana flavour.

Suitable for people with diabetes provided that routine glucose checks are performed. Many nutritional products contain sucrose and other sugars. It is important for patients who are taking supplements as sip feeds to observe good oral hygiene.

Usage Instructions

Directions for Tube Feeding

Ready for use. Administer at room temperature for tube feeding. The volume/flow rate should be adjusted to meet the patient's nutritional needs and tolerance. This product has a low viscosity and will pass down a fine nasogastric tube.

A Flexitainer enteral nutrition container may be used if decanting is necessary. For gravity feeding, use of a Flexiflo gravity gavage set is recommended.

An Abbott enteral feeding pump may be used in conjunction with the Abbott enteral feeding system where a more accurately controlled delivery of feed is indicated. An ambulatory system is available.

Bottles will attach to all Abbott giving sets.
