A feeding tube extension may be used to extend the length of a feeding tube. The feeding tube extension may comprise an extension tube and a connector configured to be inserted into a feeding port of the feeding tube. So the flow of fluids is not unduly restricted, an inner diameter of the extension tube and a diameter of a connector lumen may be selected to be a predetermined size relative to the a diameter of a feeding tube lumen. A feeding syringe interface may facilitate use of a feeding syringe with the extension tube. Various mechanisms may be used to seal the extension tube when feeding is complete. A right-angle bolster and catheter securing device may be configured to secure the feeding tube so that it does not kink or move and cause irritation. |
