Product Description

PaediaSure Plus is a 1.5 kcal/ml complete, balanced nutrition for children weighing 8-30kg. This energy-dense 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 high-quality protein sources including milk protein isolate and sodium caseinate. The fat blend includes MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) for easier absorption. PaediaSure Plus provides 50% more calories per ml than standard PaediaSure.

PaediaSure Plus is nutritionally complete for vitamins and minerals in lower volumes compared to standard PaediaSure. The 500ml Ready to Hang (RTH) format is specifically designed for enteral tube feeding, providing convenient and hygienic administration.

Suitable for people with diabetes provided that routine glucose checks are performed. Many nutritional products contain sucrose and other sugars.

Usage Instructions

⚠️ FOR ENTERAL USE ONLY.

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.

RTH containers will attach to all Abbott giving sets.
