- Preparation of patients who are undernourished before they are operated on in hospital
- Patients who have a medical condition which means they cannot absorb the nutrients from their food properly
- Patients whose bowel is not working properly, either through inflammation or following surgery, or because of other chronic conditions
- Patients who have had their stomach removed by surgery
- Patients who have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
- Patients who have other diseases which result in them being undernourished.
