Feeding Tube Accessories for Daily Enteral Operation
Feeding tube accessories cover the general hardware that supports day-to-day enteral feeding: gravity and pump delivery sets, clamps, catheter tip caps and plugs, measuring and stoma tools, and the small components that keep a feeding line operating between placements. This category stocks ENFit-format accessories for hospitals, long-term care and home enteral nutrition programs alongside the connectors, decloggers and securement devices in the accessories hub.
Feeding Tube Accessory Lines Stocked
- Gravity and bolus delivery sets - ENFit gravity feeding bags and bolus sets for intermittent feeding, stocked in common bag volumes with roller clamps.
- Pump delivery sets - ENFit administration sets matched to enteral feeding pumps, in bag and bottle (spike) configurations for continuous and cyclic feeding.
- Clamps, caps and plugs - Feeding tube clamps, catheter tip caps, button plugs and closure components that maintain a closed line between feeds.
- Measuring and stoma tools - Stoma measuring devices and general accessories used to size low-profile buttons and maintain access sites.

| Pump administration set | ENFit bag or bottle spike set | Continuous and cyclic pump feeding |
| Clamp | Slide or pinch clamp | Control and close the line |
| Catheter tip cap / button plug | Single-use closure | Maintain a closed line between feeds |
| Stoma measuring device | Disposable gauge | Size low-profile buttons |
Delivery Sets and Closure Components
Delivery sets are stocked as gravity bags for intermittent feeding and as pump administration sets matched to enteral feeding pumps, both in ENFit format and in bag or bottle-spike configurations. Closure components - clamps, catheter tip caps and button plugs - maintain a closed line between feeds and are single-use items replaced on routine intervals. Stoma measuring devices support sizing of low-profile gastrostomy buttons. All connections follow the ISO 80369-3 ENFit standard.
General feeding tube accessories are continuous-consumption disposables, since delivery sets, caps and clamps are single-patient items replaced daily or per feeding across the tube-fed population. That steady replacement volume makes case pricing and standing orders central for materials management running an enteral program. MAP Medical stocks delivery sets, closure components and measuring tools under one wholesale account. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between gravity and pump feeding sets?
Gravity feeding sets use a bag hung above the patient so formula flows by gravity, controlled with a roller clamp, and are stocked for intermittent feeding. Pump administration sets thread into an enteral feeding pump for a controlled rate and are used for continuous and cyclic feeding. Both are stocked in ENFit format, and pump sets are matched to specific enteral pumps in bag and bottle-spike configurations.
What closure components keep a feeding line closed between feeds?
Closure components include feeding tube clamps, catheter tip caps and low-profile button plugs, all single-use items that maintain a closed line between feeds. Clamps control and stop flow, while caps and plugs seal the line or button port. These are stocked as general accessories alongside delivery sets and connectors.
What are stoma measuring devices used for?
Stoma measuring devices are disposable gauges used to measure the depth of a gastrostomy stoma so a low-profile button can be sized to the correct stoma length. They are stocked as general accessories for programs that place and exchange low-profile buttons. Correct sizing pairs the device French diameter and stoma length to the measured tract.
Can facilities order feeding tube accessories in bulk?
Yes. Feeding tube delivery sets, clamps, caps and measuring tools are stocked in case quantities for hospitals, long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, home enteral nutrition providers and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for high-frequency delivery sets and closure components. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What feeding tube accessories should be in a facility formulary?
A working accessory formulary typically includes gravity feeding bags, pump administration sets matched to the facility's pumps, feeding tube clamps, catheter tip caps and button plugs, and stoma measuring devices. MAP Medical builds consolidated accessory formulary packages matched to enteral program size and pump platform - contact our team for an assessment.
