A feeding system for medical patients comprises a storage assembly, dispensing assembly, and extension set including, in part, a reservoir, a pump, a feeding tube, a check valve and an adapter. The reservoir is configured to hold at least one feeding of nutritional substance. The dispensing assembly is connected to the storage assembly and pumps the at least one feeding of nutritional substance from the reservoir to the feeding tube connected to an outlet of the pump. The check valve unit is connected to a second end of the feeding tube by means of a check valve connection point and is configured to allow the flow of nutritional substance in only one direction. The at least one feeding of nutritional substance is passed through the adapter unit connected to the check valve unit.

A securing pocket for managing the loose portion of a medical tube, such as a Nasogastric/Nasojejunal tube, while an implanted portion of the medical tube remains attached to the patient. The loose portion of the medical tube has a coiled section disposed within a receptacle formed between flexible front and rear panels. An integral flap overlaps the front panel to selectively close the receptacle and may be secured with a snap connector. Jam cleats are located along left and right edges adjacent a top edge of the receptacle. Each jam cleat forms a breach in the receptacle through which a tethered section of the loose medical tube extends. The jam cleats are configured to apply a progressive wedge force on the tethered section of the loose medical tube in response to tension along the tube. The jam cleat has flexible sides formed in a V-shape.

A food reflux reducing two-piece nasogastric tube includes a first tube body and a second tube body. The first tube body has a first connector on one end, and a protrusion edge on an outer side of the first connector in adjacent to the first positioning portion. The first connector has a through hole having a seal portion in adjacent to the first positioning portion. The seal portion has a cross break. A convex portion is on an inner edge of the through hole between the seal portion and the first positioning portion. The second tube body has one end provided with a second connector and an insertion combination tube extending therefrom. Two elastic arms extend from an outer side of the second connector and comprise a hook portion respectively. Thus, the second tube body is efficiently connected with and removed from the first tube body.

Devices for inducing satiety in enterally fed patients are provided. In one aspect, an enteral feeding device is provided that includes a catheter tube and an expandable bladder secured to a distal end of the catheter tube. The expandable bladder is positionable within a body lumen of a patient for receiving and dispensing nutrients to the patient. In another aspect, a satiety-inducing device for continuously dispensing nutrients to a patient is provided that includes an enteral feeding tube and an expandable bladder secured to the feeding tube near a distal end of the feeding tube such that the expandable bladder is positionable within a body lumen of the patient. The expandable bladder expands upon receipt of nutrients to occupy a volume of the body lumen and contracts as nutrients are continuously dispensed to the patient.

A concealable feeding tube assembly includes a tube and a removable member. The tube has an insertion portion and a feeding portion respectively at two ends thereof. The feeding portion is configured for insertion into a nasal cavity of a patient and intercommunicates with the insertion portion. The removable member is detachably attached to the tube and is configured to seal the feeding portion. The removable member includes an abutment portion extending beyond a lateral face of the removable member.

In some embodiments a PEG feeding device includes a tube sized to bridge a channel between a stomach and an outer abdominal surface; an internal bolster, and an external bolster. Optionally the bolsters are connected to the tube. The internal bolster may be sized to resist movement out of the stomach through the stoma. The external bolster may be sized to resist movement into the stoma from the outer abdominal surface. The external bolster may include an underside which extends from the tube in a radial direction between the external bolster and the outer abdominal surface. The underside of the outer bolster may contact the outer abdominal surface at a distance from an external opening of the stoma. Optionally the distance between the internal bolster and the external bolster is adjustable. Optionally an angle between one or both of the bolsters and the tube is adjustable.

A treatment system includes a first interface having a first side that includes an adhesive and a second side that includes a first magnet. The first interface is configured to attach to skin of a patient such that the first magnet does not contact the skin. The system also includes a second interface that includes a medical device and a second magnet mounted to the medical device. The second magnet is configured to attach to the first magnet such that the medical device is secured to the patient.

A device for snugging a balloon of a catheter against an inner wall of an intra-corporeal lumen or surface serviced by the catheter includes a hollow column having a top end and a bottom end, forming a throughway sized to accommodate a tube of the catheter, and a flange extending from the bottom end of the hollow column generally perpendicularly to length of the hollow column. A slit is formed in the hollow column and the flange through which the hollow column is connectable to the tube of the catheter. The catheter is tugged to contact the balloon to the inner wall of the lumen, and the device is fixed to the tube of the catheter atop the skin of a body serviced by the catheter to tension pressure of the balloon against the inner wall.
