When medical conditions prevent you from adequately feeding yourself, we provide life-sustaining clinical nutrition options to help you regain your health.
Malnutrition can be a serious problem for people with vulnerable health conditions; for the 1 in 10 newborns who are preterm; for chemotherapy patients who have lost the ability to consume food; for patients who have undergone major surgeries; and for chronically ill patients.
Getting the nutrients required to regain and maintain your health can often be difficult through normal consumption or even tube-fed solutions. Your care team may offer one of our parenteral (intravenous) nutrition solutions to help you get the nutrients you need in a safe and effective manner.
Home Parenteral Nutrition
Chronic illnesses that affect the digestive system, such as the inability to swallow, a motility disorder, inflammatory bowel diseases, bowel obstruction or a shortened intestine also may require the need for daily clinical nutrition therapy to replace or supplement normal eating. Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) was introduced in the early 1970s and today it’s a widespread therapy option around the world. Patients on home parenteral nutrition can get the nutrients they need—in the comfort of their home—by relying on the depth of our portfolio to support their custom prescriptions.
