Description

The present invention relates to ingestion devices.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, paper packs (containers) filled with liquid food have been sold in order to provide appropriate nutritional supplementation to hospital patients, elderly people, and the like. Patients in hospitals, the elderly, etc. can take orally by inserting a straw into the opening of the paper pack and sucking.

On the other hand, doctors and nurses once transfer liquid food to a bag for tube administration and administer it by tube to patients and elderly people who have difficulty in oral intake. However, once the liquid food is transferred to the bag, the workability is lowered and it is not preferable from a sanitary point of view.

In relation to this, for example, Patent Document 1 below discloses an adapter body member whose tip is inserted into an opening (to be opened) of a beverage pack (container), and an adapter body member whose tip is inserted into the opening of the beverage pack (container). An adapter for a beverage pack is disclosed that includes a fixing member that is liquid-tightly fixed in an inserted state.

According to this beverage pack adapter, liquid food can be administered through a tube without being transferred to a bag once, which is preferable from the standpoint of hygiene as well as improving workability.

Patent No. 4171649 specification

As a result of intensive investigation of the prior art, the present inventors have found that the beverage pack adapter of the prior art is only compatible with tube administration of liquid food, and that according to the condition of the patient, the elderly, etc. A problem was found that it was impossible to switch between tube administration and oral administration.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention was made to solve the above problems. The purpose is to provide a device for

An ingestion device that achieves the above object is an ingestion device for ingesting liquid food in a paper pack. The ingestion device includes a holder capable of fixing a container, a transluminal attachment that is detachable from the holder and that opens an opening of the container when attached to the holder, and the holder. an oral attachment that is attachable to and detachable from the holder and opens the opening of the container when attached to the holder.

According to the ingestion device configured as described above, since the holder is provided with the intubation attachment and the oral attachment that can be attached and detached, the liquid food in the container can be used by a person who ingests the liquid food without changing the liquid food. Accordingly, an ingestion device can be provided that is switchable between tube administration and oral administration.
