ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an improved ostomy fluid tube and method for its use comprising a collapsible retention bolster for securing the tube to the inner stomach wall and fascia. The retention means comprise several resilient leaf or petal-shaped flanges circumferentially arranged about the feeding tube at a distal point thereon. The otherwise flat, circumferentially arranged flanges possess notches or grooves which facilitate collapse or folding of the retention means for easier removal through an ostomy or other internal cavity.
