Develop Safe and Confident Enteral Feeding Skills
The Tube Feeding Simulator PLUS enables learners to develop the knowledge, confidence and practical skills required to safely perform enteral feeding procedures before working with real patients.
Designed for nursing, medical, emergency care and allied healthcare education, this realistic upper torso simulator supports training in nasogastric (NG), orogastric (OG) and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube management. Transparent internal anatomy and anatomical teaching aids help bridge theory and practice, allowing educators to demonstrate correct tube placement while learners build procedural confidence.
Whether introducing feeding tube management for the first time or reinforcing best practice, the simulator provides an engaging, repeatable training experience suitable for undergraduate education, clinical skills laboratories and continuing professional development.
Train Three Enteral Feeding Routes
Develop practical skills across the three most common feeding routes:
- Nasogastric (NG) tube insertion
- Orogastric (OG) tube insertion
- PEG tube management
This allows educators to deliver comprehensive enteral feeding training using a single simulator.
New features: Train Tracheostomy Care and Suction Techniques
Expand airway management training with the integrated tracheostomy opening, designed to support simulated tracheostomy care and suction procedures.
Learners can practise safe suction catheter insertion, secretion clearance techniques and routine tracheostomy management in a controlled environment, helping to build confidence while reinforcing best practice. This additional training capability makes the simulator an even more versatile solution for nursing, respiratory care and multidisciplinary clinical skills education.
Visualise Tube Placement
A transparent internal structure allows learners and instructors to directly observe tube progression and final placement.
By making otherwise hidden anatomy visible, learners gain a clearer understanding of the relationship between anatomy and correct clinical technique.
Reinforce Anatomical Knowledge
Included anatomical overlays and cross-sectional teaching panels help explain:
- Upper gastrointestinal anatomy
- Tube pathways
- Anatomical landmarks
- Correct positioning principles
This combination of theory and hands-on practice improves knowledge retention and clinical reasoning.
Practice with Real Fluids
The simulator is compatible with water-based fluids, allowing learners to practice:
- Enteral feeding
- Gastric aspiration
- Medication administration techniques
- Tube flushing procedures
Using realistic fluid management enhances procedural confidence while maintaining a controlled learning environment.
Realistic Patient Positioning
A flexible neck enables learners to practise appropriate head and neck positioning during tube insertion, while the torso can be positioned in Fowler's position to simulate realistic patient care scenarios.
Skills That Can Be Taught
The Tube Feeding Simulator PLUS supports training in:
- Nasogastric tube insertion
- Orogastric tube insertion
- PEG tube care and management
- Feeding tube placement verification
- Gastric aspiration
- Enteral feeding administration
- Medication administration through feeding tubes
- Safe patient positioning
- Anatomical understanding of enteral feeding routes
The simulator is suitable for:
- Nursing schools
- Medical schools
- Clinical skills laboratories
- Healthcare simulation centres
- Caregiver education
- Hospital education departments
- Continuing professional development programmes
Why Educators Choose This Simulator
Teaching enteral feeding can be challenging because learners cannot normally visualise what happens during tube placement.
The Tube Feeding Simulator PLUS addresses this by combining realistic procedural practice with visible anatomy, enabling educators to demonstrate correct technique while helping learners understand why each step matters, improving learner confidence and allowing safer preparation for clinical practice.

What Makes It Different?
The Tube Feeding Simulator PLUS combines procedural realism with anatomical visualisation, enabling learners to immediately see the consequences of correct and incorrect tube placement.
Key advantages include:
- Training across NG, OG and PEG routes within one simulator
- Transparent anatomy for immediate visual feedback
- Anatomical teaching panels to reinforce theory
- Compatible with fluid administration exercises
- Realistic positioning for authentic clinical practice
- Suitable for learners from beginner through to qualified healthcare professionals
This integrated educational approach supports both psychomotor skill development and anatomical understanding, helping educators deliver more effective enteral feeding education.
