FEEDING TUBE HAVING ECHOGENIC TIP |
摘要 |
A feeding tube for insertion into the jejunum of a patient. An elongated tubular member has a proximal portion, a distal portion, a lumen extending between the proximal and distal portions, and at least one aperture at the distal portion. The aperture is sized for passage of fluid material from the lumen into the jejunum. An inflatable balloon is disposed about a length of the elongated tubular member distal portion. The balloon is sized and configured such that upon inflation via water or saline inflation media, the balloon projects outwardly from the tubular member distal portion so as to be engageable with an interior wall of the body passageway. An echogenic material is disposed along the tubular member distal portion in conjunction with the balloon to provide an echogenic capability, so that the tubular member length is visible under ultrasound imaging.
