ABSTRACT:
A stylet to be used in combination with a feeding tube assembly for administration or aspiration of fluids to a patient comprising a wire with an elongated loop of variable length and width at its distal end. The width of the loop may be adjusted so as to be greater than the diameter of any apertures in feeding tubes thereby preventing the stylet from exiting the tube assembly and minimizing the possibility of injury to a patient during stylet intubation.
