Standard, Fiber and Calorie-Dense Composition
Standard polymeric formula uses intact protein, carbohydrate and fat for patients whose gut can digest and absorb whole nutrients. Fiber-containing versions add a fiber blend to support bowel regularity in long-term tube feeding. Calorie-dense formulas at 1.5 to 2.0 cal/mL deliver more calories in less volume for fluid-restricted feeding. Blenderized real-food formula is stocked for patients on whole-food regimens. Ready-to-hang closed systems support continuous pump feeding, and ready-to-feed cans support bolus and gravity feeding.
Standard enteral formula is the base, highest-volume nutrition line in every tube-feeding program, consumed daily by the broad tube-fed population and moving in pallet quantities through long-term care and home enteral nutrition. That continuous, high-volume demand makes standing orders and case pricing central for materials management. MAP Medical stocks standard, fiber-containing and calorie-dense polymeric formula under one wholesale account. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is standard polymeric enteral formula?
Standard polymeric enteral formula uses intact protein, carbohydrate and fat and is stocked for tube-fed patients with normal digestion and absorption. It is the base tube-feeding line, carried in standard and fiber-containing versions from Abbott (Osmolite, Jevity) and Nestle (Isosource, Nutren). Formats include ready-to-hang closed systems and ready-to-feed cans.
What is the difference between standard and fiber-containing formula?
Standard formula contains no added fiber, while fiber-containing formula such as Jevity adds a fiber blend to support bowel regularity in long-term tube feeding. Both use intact protein and are stocked across the common caloric densities. Facilities commonly stock both a standard and a fiber-containing option in their base formula line.
What caloric densities of standard formula are stocked?
Standard formula is stocked at 1.0 and 1.2 cal/mL for routine feeding and at 1.5 to 2.0 cal/mL as calorie-dense formula for fluid-restricted feeding. Density is chosen against a patient's fluid and calorie regimen. The catalog carries multiple densities within the main standard lines so a facility can match its regimens.
Can facilities order standard enteral formula in bulk?
Yes. Standard enteral formula is stocked in case and pallet quantities for hospitals, long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, home enteral nutrition providers and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for the base standard and fiber-containing lines, which are the highest-volume formula SKUs. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What standard formulas should be in a facility formulary?
A working standard formula formulary typically includes a standard polymeric formula at 1.0-1.2 cal/mL, a fiber-containing version, a calorie-dense 1.5-2.0 cal/mL formula for fluid-restricted feeding, and an oral or transitional ready-to-drink line. A blenderized real-food option is added for programs serving whole-food regimens.
