Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a gastrostomy tube. Background Art

[0002] A gastrostomy tube is a type of medical device. It is a thin and flexible tube that is surgically inserted into the patient's stomach to create an artificial channel directly from the abdominal wall to the gastric cavity. This operation is mainly used for patients who cannot take food and liquids orally for various reasons, or who need long-term nutritional support. The operation is usually performed under local or general anesthesia, and the doctor will make a small incision at a selected location in the patient's abdomen. The gastrostomy tube is then passed through the abdominal wall tissue through the incision to the gastric cavity, and is usually fixed to the anterior wall of the stomach. One end of the tube remains in the stomach, and the other end passes through the skin and extends to the outside of the body to form a visible external interface. The gastrostomy tube can directly inject nutritious liquid food to ensure that the patient obtains the necessary calories, protein, vitamins and minerals to maintain the body's metabolic needs. Certain oral medications can be given through the gastrostomy tube.

[0003] The connection between the gastrostomy tube and the patient's abdomen will form a stoma, that is, an incision. Medical staff need to regularly clean the skin around the stoma to keep it dry and prevent infection. When the patient performs strenuous exercise or changes body position frequently, the tube may rub against the fistula, affecting healing and inducing leakage. Leakage not only hinders the normal healing of the fistula, but may also cause the healed part to reopen or become infected. Existing gastrostomy tubes use fixing devices such as sutures and patches to ensure that the tube is stable inside the fistula and reduce leakage caused by displacement.
