Detailed implementation manners

[0038] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] An embodiment of the present application discloses an infant gastrogastroesophageal tube.

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 , the gastrogastroesophageal tube includes a main tube 11 and a sub-tube 12, and both the main tube 11 and the sub-tube 12 are made of medical rubber material.

[0041] One end of the main tube 11 is a feeding end 111, and the other end is an eating end 112. When in use, the feeding end 111 extends into the stomach of the infant, and the eating end 112 is located outside the body of the infant. Moreover, the eating end 112 can be connected to a feeder, and food is injected into the gastrogastroesophageal tube by using the feeder. Among them, the feeder can be a syringe, an injection tube, etc. The feeding speed can be adjusted by the pushing speed of the syringe, or feeding can be carried out depending on the gravity of the food in the syringe.

[0042] The sub-tube 12 is attached to the main tube 11. During processing, the sub-tube 12 can be integrally formed with the main tube 11, or the sub-tube 12 and the main tube 11 are bonded by a thermoplastic process. One end of the sub-tube 12 is a discharging end 121, and the other end is a discharging end 122. Moreover, both the discharging end 121 and the discharging end 122 are located between the feeding end 111 and the eating end 112 of the main tube 11, and the discharging end 121 is arranged close to the feeding end 111, and the discharging end 122 is arranged close to the eating end 112. When in use, the discharging end 121 and the feeding end 111 of the main tube 11 extend into the stomach of the infant together, and the discharging end 122 is located outside the body of the infant. While the main tube 11 feeds the infant's stomach, the sub-tube 12 discharges the air or excess water in the infant's stomach to the outside of the body.

[0043] Referring to Figure 2 , when in use, in order to minimize the damage to the gastric mucosa of the infant when the gastrogastroesophageal tube is inserted into the infant's stomach, one end of the main tube 11 inserted into the infant's stomach is a main closed end 113, the feeding end 111 is opened at the bottom of the upper side wall of the main tube 11, and the shape of the feeding end 111 is a regular opening or a special-shaped opening such as a circular opening, a triangular opening, an elliptical opening or other shapes.

[0044] Similarly, one end of the auxiliary tube 12 inserted into the stomach of the infant is the auxiliary closed end 123, and the discharge end 121 is opened at the bottom of the upper side wall of the auxiliary tube 12, and the shape of the discharge end 121 is a regular opening or an irregular opening such as a circular opening, a triangular opening, an elliptical opening or other shapes.
