ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed for supplying food and medication to a patient, the device being inserted through a stoma and into the patient's stomach for feeding into the stomach and/or the jejunum. The device may also be used to feed directly into the jejunum by by-passing the stomach.
The device is secured in place by an inflatable balloon within the stomach, or by a plate if the stomach is by-passed, 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 employed with conventional surgically formed procedures, and is replaceable. Servicing of the device can be made at home, rather than at a hospital.
