Feeding apparatus.

摘要

Apparatus for administering an ingestible oral fluid to a patient takes the form of an elongate tubular member (10) closed at the extremity of one end portion shaped as a hook (11), the hook (10) having a hollowed outward projection (16) which is resilient at least over its area facing in the same general direction as the mouth of the hook (10) with this area also being formed with an orifice (17). The overall geometry of the apparatus is such that the hook (10) passes over the lower mouth of the patient to locate and retain the projection for oral actuation, while the remainder of the member hangs across the jaw of the patient.
