ABSTRACT:
An enteral feeding device for the admission of fluids into a patient. The device includes a female proximal end connector, a flexible feeding tube, a fluid discharge tube, and a probe, respectively, joined axially to provide a diametrically uniformed outer periphery the entire length of the enteral feeding tube. The guide wire has a male proximal end connector affixed to the proximal end thereof and a coiled helical spring immovably attached to the distal end thereof. An annular stop flange is located interiorly adjacent the proximal end of the fluid discharge chamber which restricts the axial movement of the guide wire when inserted into the enteral feeding tube. A plurality of fluid discharge orifices are radially disposed equidistantly apart around the outer periphery of the fluid discharge chamber. A concave slope is interiorly located juxtaposed the bottom surface of the fluid discharge chamber. The combination of the radially disposed fluid discharge orifices and the concave slope provide an efficient distribution of fluid from the enteral feeding tube. A plurality of stabilization weights are interposed within the probe. The arrangement of stabilization weights combined with the radial distribution of the fluid provides greater stability of the probe during slight movements of the patient. Further, a thermometer-shaped rigid bolus tip is located on the distal end of the probe.
