ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a feeding tube adapter for enteral feeding tubes that comprises a central passageway having an exit port having an inside diameter smaller than the exit port inside diameter of an enteral feeding tube and constructed to provide a Venturi effect on material passing through the adapter thereby inhibiting blockage when feeding formulas or medications are infused therein. The adapter is advantageously constructed in the form of a Y-Port for ease of irrigating.
