Product Description
TwoCal Bolus is a 2.0 kcal/ml complete, balanced, energy dense liquid enteral tube feed with FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides). It is specifically designed for bolus feeding via a feeding tube, providing a convenient and nutritionally complete solution for patients requiring high energy nutrition in a small volume.
Presented in 200ml (399 kcal) bottles, TwoCal Bolus is ideal for patients who need concentrated nutrition but cannot tolerate large volumes of feed. The high energy density allows patients to meet their nutritional requirements with less fluid intake, making it particularly suitable for fluid-restricted patients or those with limited gastric capacity.
The formula contains 100% soluble fibre in the form of FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides), which may help support digestive health and normal bowel function. With 16.8% of energy from protein and a non-protein calorie to nitrogen ratio of 124:1, TwoCal Bolus provides balanced nutrition for patients with increased energy needs.
Manufactured by Abbott Laboratories Ltd, a global leader in clinical nutrition, TwoCal Bolus is nutritionally complete for vitamins and minerals in 1750ml (875ml excluding electrolytes, calculated using the UK Reference Nutrient Intake for men aged 19-50 years). The product is gluten-free, clinically lactose-free, and suitable for vegetarians.
TwoCal Bolus is designed for enteral use only and should be administered via bolus feeding through a feeding tube. It is suitable as a sole source of nutrition or as a nutritional supplement for patients who cannot or will not eat sufficient quantities of everyday food and drink to meet their nutritional requirements. Suitable for people with diabetes provided that routine glucose checks are performed.
Note: TwoCal is also available in 1000ml (1997 kcal) Ready to Hang (RTH) containers for tube feeding via continuous or intermittent feeding methods.
Usage Instructions
⚠️ FOR ENTERAL USE ONLY - This product is designed for bolus feeding via a feeding tube and must not be taken orally.
TwoCal Bolus is ready for use and requires no preparation. The volume and frequency of bolus feeds should be adjusted to meet the patient's nutritional needs and tolerance.
Administration Method
Bolus Feeding: TwoCal Bolus is specifically designed for bolus feeding via a feeding tube. Administer at room temperature. Shake well before use. The 200ml bottle size is ideal for convenient bolus administration.
