A COMBINED NASO-GASTRIC FEEDING TUBE AND ELECTRODE

摘要

A combined naso-gastric feeding tube and electrode is described comprising a tube (1) in the region of one end is a luer (2) of conventional construction with a closing cap (3) joined to the luer by a strap (4). The electrode is an electroconductive wire (5) secured to the luer (2) by a plastics sleeve (6) shrunk onto the tube (1), the wire (5) passing down the inside of the tube (1) at one end to emerge through the wall of the tube adjacent its other end. A method of manufacturing the combined feeding tube and electrode is also described.
