ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed for supplying food and medication to a patient, and for drainage and/or decompression, the device being inserted through a stoma and into the patient's stomach.
The device is secured in place by an inflatable balloon or a mushroom tip within the stomach, and by an adjustable ring on the abdominal wall. The adjustable ring also prevents ingestion of the device into the stomach. During use, the ring can be retracted to permit cleaning of the stoma area. The ring can be perforated and ribbed to provide improved ventilation of the stoma area during use.
The device can be used with conventional surgically formed procedures, and is replaceable at considerably longer intervals than present devices. Servicing of the device can be made at home, rather than at a hospital.
