  • Patent number: 5242429
    Abstract: An enteral feeding device for the admission of fluids into a patient. The device includes a female proximal end connector, a flexible feeding tube, a fluid discharge tube, and a probe, respectively, joined axially to provide a diametrically uniformed outer periphery the entire length of the enteral feeding tube. The guide wire has a male proximal end connector affixed to the proximal end thereof and a coiled helical spring immovably attached to the distal end thereof. An annular stop flange is located interiorly adjacent the proximal end of the fluid discharge chamber which restricts the axial movement of the guide wire when inserted into the enteral feeding tube. A plurality of fluid discharge orifices are radially disposed equidistantly apart around the outer periphery of the fluid discharge chamber. A concave slope is interiorly located juxtaposed the bottom surface of the fluid discharge chamber.
