<p>Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an enteric feeding tube 100 that comprises of a proximal feeding portion 101a, a middle portion 101b and a distal dispensing portion 101c. The proximal feeding portion 101a is thinner in diameter than the rest of the body 101 of the enteric feeding tube 100 and a detachable overtube 102 encloses the proximal feeding portion 101a. After positioning the enteric feeding tube 100, the overtube 102 is separated and removed from the proximal feeding portion 101a. The presence of a thinner proximal feeding portion 101a in the nasobuccal region makes it more comfortable for the patients than conventional feeding tubes.</p> |
