ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a method and device for restoring the patency of feeding tubes by removal of feedings that are blocking the lumen of the tubes. The device provides a means of contacting the occlusions with solubilizing agents and employs fluid erosion techniques and mechanical force and provides for the restoration of the therapeutic plan without the major complications and cost of replacing tubes already in place.
