bFed is the first-of-its-kind tube feeding system that is available over the counter, making it the first delivery system of its kind to be available to consumers without a prescription. The FDA-cleared feeding tube system makes it easier for home tube feeders to access more forms of nutrition without previous restrictions. According to Brian Johnson, president and co-founder of U Deliver Medical: "Requiring a prescription was an additional burden resulting in more contacts with healthcare providers for a person that already has a feeding tube and can't eat by mouth."
As bFed's delivery system has been proven to be safe without the supervision of a healthcare professional, the tube feeding system will eliminate barriers for proper nutrition by being available over the counter.
