Can someone please enlighten us....

what is the difference between a Dobhoff and a Keofeed?

(and it IS Keofeed, right? Or is it KAOfeed??)

Thanks!

Nothing as far as I know. Both of these names, in my experience, have referred to small bore feeding tubes with weighted tips used for nasogastric or nasoduodenal feeding.

I thought they were the same thing?

Remember, the names are brand names, like Kelloggs vs. Post cereal. Corn flakes is corn flakes.
