Tubing sets designed for delivering nutrients, fluid, and/or medications between an enteral feeding delivery device (e.g., syringe, enteral feeding pump administration set) and a previously inserted enteral feeding tube (e.g., gastrostomy tube, nasogastric tube). These sets typically include a plastic (e.g., polyvinyl chloride) tube with enteral-specific connectors at their proximal and distal ends. Some enteral feeding extension sets may include a tubing bifurcation (i.e., Y-site) to allow for enteral administration of medication or additional nutritional material.
