Key Benefits of Y Ports Design
One of the standout features of the Kangaroo™ feeding tube is the Y Ports connector, which allows for easy access to the feeding system. This design not only enhances usability but also reduces the risk of accidental disconnections.

This product is designed to be adaptable and practical, making it a preferred choice for the healthcare environment and at home.
