  • SELF COLLAPSING FEEDING TUBE WITH CLEANING MECHANISM
    Publication number: 20200397667
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a delivery device. The delivery device of the present disclosure can include one or more pullout resistors that can anchor the delivery device to the patient's abdomen. The pullout resistors can reduce feeding tube migration. The delivery device can include pullout resistors that anchor the delivery device with the abdomen rather than inflatable bumpers or balloons that can obstruct the intestine. When implanted, the pullout resistors can lie between the small intestine and intraabdominal wall. The pullout resistors can prevent inadvertent retrograde displacement of the delivery device without obstructing the lumen of the intestine. The pullout resistors can be flexible to enable a healthcare professional to apply an external retraction force to remove the delivery device.
