Abstract:
A feeding pouch assembly includes a pouch defining a fluid chamber with an outlet port extending from the pouch. The outlet port is in fluid communication with the fluid chamber. A valve is positioned at the outlet port and is biased to a natural sealing position wherein flow from the fluid chamber to the outlet port is prevented. The valve moves to a non-sealing position, wherein fluid is free to flow from the fluid chamber to the outlet, upon connection of the outlet port to a feeding tube. The valve automatically moves to the sealing position upon disconnection of the feeding tube from the outlet port.

Claim (Index 7):
A feeding assembly comprising:\n a feeding pouch defining a fluid cavity and an outlet port, the outlet port including a first tubular portion and a second tubular portion, the second tubular portion having an internal diameter smaller than an internal diameter of the first tubular portion with a shoulder defined between the first and second tubular portions; a feeding tube including an inlet having a tubular member configured to be received within the second tubular portion; and a valve positioned within the outlet port, the valve comprising a substantially hollow valve body extending from a generally open end to a substantially closed end, the closed end including a central portion supported relative to the valve body by a resiliently flexible angled portion such that the central portion is biased to an extended position but is moveable to a position within the valve body, wherein one or more holes extend through the angled portion, otherwise the closed end is sealed, wherein in the extended position, the central portion and/or the angled portion seals against the shoulder and in the position within the valve body, a fluid passage is defined from the fluid chamber, through the one or more holes, to the second tubular portion and to the feeding tube tubular member.
