ABSTRACT:
A gastrostomy catheter for implantation through a stoma in the abdominal and stomach walls of a patient includes an integral external retention disc designed to be readily engagable by the physician or nursing attendant for manipulation of the feeding tube and inlet ports during use. The inlet ports for feeding nutrients and for fluid passage during balloon inflation are arranged at an inclined angle. This provides easy access to the inlet ports with the required feeding set or inflation syringe without interference with the patient's abdominal wall or the need to manipulate the retention disc in a way which might result in infection of the stoma site.
