Fluid Motion Backpack: Best Feeding Tube Backpack

We needed a backpack for TPN and gtube feeds, and this bag is perfect!

Love this backpack so much! It fits perfectly, holds a lot, and I love that it stands up and doesn’t tip over.

I cant go anywhere without having a crapton of stuff with me and this backpack fits it all. Chargers, medical folder, feeding tube pump, even my switch, and more. A good step up from the original. The only thing I would change is the order of the pockets, the original design was better in that regard.

I’ve been using this backpack for bout 2 weeks now for my tpn. I hook up to my tpn everyday for 14 hours and the convenience of this backpack with all the pockets and with how sturdy it is, very helpful. It’s not too heavy when I carry it on my back while hooked up which is a plus for me too. I was using a hydration backpack from REI for 2 and a half years, and while that bag worked for me it was getting worn out and smelly because of the tpn. I also love that this bag has no extra straps hanging off like my previous bag did. I do wish it came in more colors though and that it had a side pocket for a water bottle.

I had one of the previous backpacks but when I saw there was a new version (the new Fluid Motion backpack), I had to try it. So glad I did as I LOVE it! The re-designed front pocket makes my life easier as there’s more room for keys and other things I used to carry in a purse so I no longer have to pare it down to just essentials, the new medical supplies pocket is easier to use as it stays up while the front lays down, it’s easier to fit all my supplies in, and the layout of available spots to run my line are fantastic and keep my line from getting caught up in my wheelchair when I’m using it. I also find the middle pocket much easier to access as the zipper allows more access and keeps me from having to just reach my whole arm in to dig around. I do miss being able to change the strap placement, but I’m hoping the new design prevents breakdown as my previous backpack (the old style) had a clip break in half. Thanks to my creative husband, we were able to attach a carabiner he picked up at Home Depot to fix this issue, but hopefully the new bag won’t have this problem. Even my nurses have been impressed with my Fluid Motion bag and have asked where I got it and have passed this on to other patients.
