ABSTRACT:
A medical catheter assembly including a safety Y-port adaptor. In one embodiment, the medical catheter assembly is a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) assembly and includes a PEG tube, the PEG tube having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal conduit. An internal bolster is disposed at the distal end of the PEG tube. The safety Y-port adaptor includes a tubular first arm, a tubular second arm and a tubular third arm, each of the second and third arms being in fluid communication with the first arm. The first arm is coupled to the proximal end of the PEG tube and is fluid communication therewith. A first anti-reflux valve is disposed within the second arm, and a second anti-reflux valve is disposed within the third arm. The anti-reflux valves may be positioned within their respective arms so that each may be biased open by the insertion of a dispensing tip into the arm.
