What is Infatrini?
Infatrini is a nutritionally complete ENDF formula offering a dietary management solution for infants with increased energy requirements, losses, or fluid restriction. It covers a wide range of conditions such as critical illnesses, infections, respiratory and GI disorders. Infatrini is designed to be used from birth and in young children up to 18 months (or 9kg) with disease related malnutrition and growth failure. As a ready to use liquid formula, it is suitable for administration via bottle and enteral feeding tubes.
*Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids
Docosahexaenoic acid
Arachidonic acid
Nutritionally Complete3
Can be given:
- as a sole source of nutrition for infants from birth and young children up to 18 months of age (or 9kg)
- to complement breastfeeding
- to supplement a poor oral intake
Energy Dense
1kcal/ml to address increased energy and nutrient requirements, fluid restrictions and/or limited ability to take oral feed2,4
Protein-Energy Ratio
2.6g protein / 100 ml (10.3% of energy) - higher P:E ratio, tailored for the nutritional needs of infants with faltering growth, in line with recommendations for lean mass desposition2,4
Additionally Contains: Prebiotic scGOS/lcFOS (9:1) and LCPUFAs
- The most studied prebiotic mixture of oligosaccharides in infant formula, close to human milk oligosaccharides in quantity and diversity.14
- Clinically demonstrated to increase numbers of bifidobacterial and reduce infections.5,6
- Arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) at levels comparable to those of mature human milk.4,7
In which cases Infatrini might be used?
Why Choose Infatrini for Catch-up growth?
Infatrini's Transformative Impact
Promote Catch-Up Growth:
Infatrini is formulated to provide ~40% higher energy intake10 and 60% more weight gain per day compared to standard infant feeds11, ensuring malnourished or fluid-restricted infants receive the necessary support for rapid, quality catch-up growth.
Energy and protein targets met within 2 days
Infants receiving Infatrini had a significantly higher intake of nutrients after day 1 *12 compare infants receiving standard infant formula
Reaching growth targets in challenging patients
Infants receiving Infatrini demonstrated a significant increase in weight-for-age z score9
Reduces Hospital Stay & Antibiotic Use:
Additionally, it promotes faster recovery time, evidenced by reduced length of hospital stay and antibiotic use. This supports both patient outcomes and alleviates the burden on the healthcare system.
Composition for Enhanced Tolerance and Weight Gain:
Infatrini is well tolerated by 90% of critically ill patients. The low osmolality and unique prebiotic blend of scGOS/lcFOS (9:1) are engineered to ensure optimal tolerance and promote gut health. These features make it suitable even for the most sensitive infants, supporting a stable and healthy gut microbiome and reducing the risk of infections and gastrointestinal discomfort. The most important, the protein-energy ratio of 10.3% of energy from protein promotes growth of lean mass for high quality weight gain.
Consistently shown to be tolerated in a range of complex patients13
Infatrini appears to be well tolerated in infants when administered from day 1
Younger infants may benefit from a gradual introduction to Infatrini. However, for the majority of infants with faltering growht, Infatrini can be introduced at full strength from day 1.
Infatrini is an energy and nutrient dense, nutritionally complete feed for infants from birth and young children up to 18 months of age (or 9 kg) with disease related malnutrition and growth failure. Infatrini is a dietary food for special medical purposes (FSMP) and must be used under medical supervision.
