Feeding bag support for wheelchair
The local hospital has people who needed to be fed by a bag and tube system but had no way to enable wheelchair users in their care to go outside in good weather as no support device was available to fit to wheelchairs.
A support pole was made to carry the battery powered feed controller and the feed bag system that could readily be fitted to a wheelchair, easily stowed when not in use and could be moved simply from one wheelchair to another. Two devices were made for the hospital.
People who need constant feeding from a bag can now easily be moved outside the confines of a hospital ward for recreation and relief.
