AI Technical Summary
Existing gastric tubes cannot effectively support the esophagus when treating children with esophageal strictures, leading to easy restenosis at the stricture site, which affects the child's eating and nutrient supply.
A gastric tube with an esophageal dilation balloon was designed. By setting an inflatable balloon on the main body of the gastric tube, the balloon is inflated by using a rubber balloon to support the dilation of the esophagus and prevent re-narrowing of the narrowed area.
It effectively prevents restenosis at the narrow point of the esophagus, increases the practicality of the gastric tube, and ensures that the child can eat normally and receive nutrition.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a gastric tube with an esophageal dilation balloon. Background Technology
[0002] A gastric tube is used in special circumstances to deliver necessary fluids and food to patients who cannot swallow. Gastric tubes are generally made of polyurethane or silicone. Depending on the material, polyurethane and silicone tubes should be replaced monthly. They come in various sizes and lengths. Gastric tubes are either orally or nasally tubes. Nasogastric tubes are prone to dislodgement and should be securely fastened to prevent repeated insertion and aspiration. They consist of the tubing, feeding port connector, tube clamp, and a cross-shaped cap. There are usually two feeding port connectors. The uppermost connector, when opened, allows for manual pressure injection using a small syringe with a plunger and piston to deliver liquid foods like water. The lower connector allows for the injection of thicker foods like minced meat or vegetables, or mechanically pulverized into a paste or porridge-like consistency, such as noodles, using a pusher and a 100ml syringe. This increases dietary fiber, aids bowel movements, and promotes digestion and nutrient delivery. However, it's crucial not to feed too much or too quickly at once, as this can lead to incomplete gastric emptying and esophageal reflux.
[0003] Children with esophageal stricture have a high chance of restenosis after balloon dilation treatment. Esophageal stricture can affect a child's normal eating. In order to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, a nasogastric tube is needed to deliver liquid food. However, the existing nasogastric tube has a fixed diameter and does not provide support for the esophagus. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the structure of the existing nasogastric tube by adding a dilation balloon. The balloon is periodically inflated to prevent the esophageal stricture from contracting and restenosis. Summary of the Invention
