For those using or planning to use real food tube blends

[lgelb]

A cautionary article suggests you may need to take action [e.g. stocking up or switching systems] in order to maintain access to large-diameter connectors, as there is a global conversion movement to a small bore standard, albeit for reasons that some find questionable and as decided by a group that includes the major formula manufacturers. Reportedly, AMT and Vygon, perhaps among others, will continue to market legacy tubes.

I have attached the US conversion schedule so you can see which manufacturers have joined or are planning to join the conversion, and plan accordingly. Ex-US, the considerations would be similar.

Best,
Laurie

Thanks Laurie. Apparently this new design also requires one to screw the attachment into place which is going to make it harder to do which will impact PALS who are still able to administer their own feedings. Terrific

Can you explain this in less technical language, I don't understand.
