Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: like Figs. 1-3 The gastrostomy tube shown includes an outer tube 1, an inner tube 2, a retaining water balloon 3, and a tube clamp 4. A limiting block 5 is fixedly provided in the middle of the outer tube 1. The inner tube 2 passes through the outer tube 1 and extends along the length of the outer tube 1. The retaining water balloon 3 is connected to the rear end of the inner tube 2. The tube clamp 4 is located in the middle of the outer tube 1 and is in front of the limiting block 5. A cleaning tube 6 is provided on the front of the outer tube 1.

[0015] During the procedure, an opening is first made in the patient's abdomen and stomach. The outer tube 1, inner tube 2, and water balloon are then inserted into the patient's stomach 7, with the limiting block 5 positioned outside the abdomen 8. Water is then injected into the water balloon through the inner tube 2, causing it to inflate and become lodged at the stomach opening. At this point, the water balloon and the limiting block 5 together fix the tube in place, completing the intubation. After intubation, medical staff can administer liquid food and water into the patient's stomach through the outer tube 1. After each feeding, the outer tube 1 can be clamped with a clamp 4 to isolate its front and rear ends. Water can then be injected into the outer tube 1 through the flushing tube 6 to flush out any remaining food, keeping the inner wall of the outer tube 1 clear and unobstructed.

[0016] The tube clamp 4 and the limiting block 5 are integrated. When the outer tube 1 is inserted into the patient's body, the tube clamp 4 and the limiting block 5 are positioned together at the abdomen 8, ensuring that the exposed part of the outer tube 1 can be cleaned during unblocking and preventing the tube clamp 4 from being lost when not in use. Typically, both the tube clamp 4 and the limiting block 5 are made of soft plastic.

[0017] The pipe clamp 4 includes an outer pipe fixing block 401 and a movable clamping block 402. The outer pipe fixing block 401 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 5.

After opening the first sealing cap 601, water can be injected into the outer tube 1 through the cleaning tube 6, so that the water flow will flush out the residual food from the inlet of the outer tube 1 in the opposite direction.

[0019] The cleaning pipe 6 gradually slopes backward from the inside to the outside. With this design, when water is injected into the cleaning pipe 6, the water flow can rush out along the front end of the cleaning pipe 6 to the outer pipe 1, which can better wash away the food.

[0020] The outer tube fixing block 401 has a strip groove 4012. The outer tube 1 is fixedly connected to the outer tube fixing block 401 and is mounted on the strip groove 4012. The groove wall of the strip groove 4012 has a limiting hole 40121. The movable clamping block 402 is provided with a strip block 4021 that matches the strip groove 4012. The connecting piece is a movable spring piece 40211 provided on the strip block 4021. The movable spring piece 40211 matches the limiting hole 40121. When the outer tube fixing block 401 and the movable clamping block 402 are closed, the strip block 4021 can extend into the strip groove 4012, and the movable spring piece 40211 can be inserted into the limiting hole 40121 to fix the position of the movable clamping block 402. The structure of the strip groove 4012 and the strip block 4021 can ensure that the front and rear parts of the outer tube 1 are completely isolated to prevent water from flowing into the patient's stomach during the cleaning process. After the cleaning is completed, the strip block 4021 can be easily removed from the strip groove 4012 by simply pressing the movable spring piece 40211.

[0021] The inner tube 2 is provided with a second sealing cap 201 at its front end. After the water-filled ball 3 has finished filling with water, the inner tube 2 can be sealed by the second sealing cap 201 to prevent the water-filled ball 3 from being discharged to the outside again under air pressure.
