An enteric feeding bag having unique fluid dispensation features comprising a supplying chamber within the bag being coupled to an inlet, a feeding chamber of smaller volume than the supplying chamber being coupled to an inlet, a feeding chamber of smaller volume than the supplying chamber being coupled to an outlet, a channel placing the chambers in selective fluid communication upon tilting of the bag, a partition between the chambers having at least one aperture to receive a clamp in which the aperture coincides with volumetric graduations on the feeding chamber, an elongated flap appended to the exterior peripheral edge of the feeding chamber also having at least one aperture horizontally coinciding with the aperture on the partition and, a clamp inserted through the apertures for transversely sealing together the side walls of the feeding chamber at one aperture.

An enteric feeding bag for fluid feeding of a patient through a feeding tube, the bag being suspendable in an operative position and having an inlet at the top and an outlet at the bottom comprising: a supplying chamber in said bag for receiving a selected quantity of fluid, said supplying chamber being coupled to said inlet; a feeding chamber of smaller volume than said supplying chamber, said feeding chamber being adjacent to said supplying chamber and being coupled to said outlet; passage means between said supplying chamber and said feeding chamber placing said chambers in selected fluid communication permitting filling and refilling of said feeding chamber upon orienting said bag to a determinate position other than said operative position; a partition between said feeding chamber and said supplying chamber, said partition having at least one discrete aperture along the length of said partition, said aperture coinciding to a selected volume of said feeding chamber; and clamping means for transversely sealing together side walls of said feeding chamber only at said aperture to define a selected volume of said feeding chamber, said clamping means forming an air impermeable seal resulting in lower air pressure within said selected volume than the ambient air pressure so that as fluid drains from said selected volume the walls of said feeding chamber defining said selected volume progressively collapse inward to trap a small residue of fluid at the bottom of said feeding.
