Definitions

  • the invention relates to a feeding tube having a probe head at least two channels, namely a feeding channel and a fluid channel, having a stem carrying at its end a penetrated by the feeding channel, connected to the fluid channel balloon, the probe head equipped with valves Has supply connections for the channels.
  • a fluid channel opening in the balloon is provided in the shaft of the feeding tube, which can be acted upon by a further supply connection of the probe head and a spring-loaded valve in the closing direction with a fluid, usually air or water.
  • the balloon may be deflated via the supply port associated with the fluid channel to remove the feeding tube from the stoma.
  • the length of the shaft is to be adapted to the thickness of the abdominal wall of the respective patient. This means that feeding probes must be provided with graduated lengths of the shaft, which is associated with a considerable manufacturing and storage costs.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a feeding probe that allows easy consideration of the thickness of the abdominal wall.
  • the invention solves the problem set by the fact that one of the shaft separate probe portion forming probe head forms a plug-in coupling for the abltician shaft for connecting the channels with the associated supply ports.
  • the structural design of the plug-in coupling for connecting the channels of the shaft with the associated supply ports in the probe head can be different, it depends so only on a liquid or fluid-tight connection.
  • One possibility for connecting the shaft to the probe head is to provide a plug-in receptacle in the probe head for the cut-off coupling end of the shaft. It is in this case for ensure that after inserting the coupling end of the shaft into the socket of the probe head, the channels of the shaft are sufficiently tightly connected to the probe head, which is achieved for example by an adhesive bond between the probe head and the end face of the cut-off coupling end of the shaft. But it can also be provided for this end face seals for the shaft channels in the probe head.
  • the plug-in coupling can include coupling pins engaging in the channels of the shaft. If the coupling plug protruding against the cut-out coupling end of the shaft has a tapered lead-in end, insertion of the coupling plug associated with the probe head into the channels of the shaft is facilitated.
  • the shaft is made of a suitably pliable plastic
  • the protruding coupling plug of the probe head are enclosed by a resilient bias of the channel walls of the shaft, which usually ensures sufficient connection between the probe head and the coupling end of the shaft.
  • the coupling end of the shaft can be additionally enclosed with a safety cuff.
  • the feeding tube shown has a shaft 2 connected to a probe head 1, which forms two channels 3 and 4, namely a feeding channel 3 for the food supply and a fluid channel 4 for filling and emptying a provided at the end of the shaft 2 balloon 5.
  • the two channels 3, 4 of the shaft 2 are connected to corresponding supply terminals 6, 7.
  • the supply port 6 for the food or drug supply is provided with a check valve 8, can be introduced through the food preparations or drugs through the feeding channel 3, which passes through the balloon 5 in the stomach.
  • the supply connection 7 for the fluid channel 4 has a spring-loaded in the closing direction valve 9, via which the balloon 5 with a fluid, such as water, can be filled. About this valve 9 also emptying of the balloon 5 is possible.
  • the probe head 1 constitutes a probe part separate from the shaft 2, to which the shaft 2 can be connected after being cut to a predetermined length.
  • the probe head 1 forms a plug-in coupling for the shaft 2.
  • This plug-in coupling could consist of a plug-in receptacle in the probe head 1 adapted to the outer circumference of the shaft 2.
  • the probe head 1 forms for the two channels 3, 4 of the shaft 2 but against the coupling end of the shaft 2 projecting coupling connector 10, which preferably engage under a widening of the channel walls in the shaft 2, so that the shaft 2 with its coupling end the Coupling plug 10 of the probe head 1 enclose with a resilient bias.
  • the coupling end of the shaft 2 can be additionally enclosed with a safety collar 11.
