Abstract: A medical plug apparatus for use in conjunction with an ostomy procedure includes a cap and an elongated cylindrical shaft. The cap has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a first thickness. The elongated cylindrical shaft extends orthogonally away from the bottom surface of the cap from a proximal end to a distal end and has shaft diameter and the shaft length adapted to plug a stoma cavity upon inserting the elongated cylindrical shaft into the stoma cavity. The cap includes a gripping portion that has a gripping diameter such that, upon exerting a pulling force on the first region and the second region of the gripping portion, the elongated cylindrical shaft is directed outwardly away from the patient by the pulling force causing a substantially axial tension force on the elongated cylindrical shaft.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for administering fluids to body cavities, suctioning or aspirating fluids from body cavities, performing gastric decompression, and containing gastric reflux. An exemplary system includes a Y-connector, a multiple lumen tube, and an anti-reflux valve. The Y-connector comprises a delivery arm, a suction arm, and a convergence arm, all in fluid communication with one another and may be coupled to the multiple lumen tube. The multiple lumen tube includes a first lumen, a second lumen, and a plurality of openings. The anti-reflux valve includes a valve adapted to prevent the fluid from flowing beyond the proximal end of the second lumen.
