1. A system, relating to unblocking at least one medical feeding tube, having at least one blockage, while such medical feeding tube is inserted into at least one human cavity, such medical feeding tube having at least one proximal entry opening and at least one distal exit opening and at least one interior lumen extending there between, comprising:
a) at least one fluid-conducting conduit structured and arranged to conduct at least one flow of fluid; b) at least one proximal-entry engager structured and arranged to engage the at least one proximal entry opening; c) wherein said at least one fluid-conducting conduit is configured to be insertable within the at least one blocked medical feeding tube; d) wherein said at least one proximal-entry engager comprises at least one fluid-flow blocker structured and arranged to block an outward flow of the fluid, through the at least one proximal entry opening, from the at least one interior lumen; e) wherein said at least one fluid-flow blocker comprises at least one conduit passage structured and arranged to pass at least one portion of said at least one fluid-conducting conduit, through said at least one proximal entry opening, to at least one position within the at least one interior lumen; f) wherein fluid pressure within the at least one interior lumen may be increased, between said at least one fluid-flow blocker and the at least one blockage, by conduction of the at least one flow of fluid through said at least one fluid-conducting conduit; and g) wherein such increase in fluid pressure assists unblocking the at least one medical feeding tube by exerting at least one fluid force on the at least one blockage to move the at least one blockage outwardly from the at least one distal end. |
