摘要 |
The present invention provides a Jejunocath comprising a novel removable surgical fixed pad adapted to be fastened to the bowel wall and to the anterior abdominal wall, thereby holding the catheter in place and preventing leaking from the bowel into the peritoneal cavity. The invention also provides a unique adapter that inhibits catheter blockage of undissolved medications and feeding formulas, provides for ease of removal of trapped undissolved matter in the adapter and for high adhesion in the connection between the adapter and catheter, thereby preventing leaks and unintended removal of a universal "Y" port from the catheter.
