Feeding-Tubes TRIZ Cases
- Multi-User Beverage Straw With Distinct Suction Ends for Hygiene
Distinct suction ends let multiple people share one beverage straw while reducing germ transmission and avoiding separate straws.
- Shape-Memory Nasogastric Tube for Small-Insertion, Large-Feed Diameter
A shape-memory wire lets the tube stay narrow during insertion, then expand at body temperature for easier feeding and less nasal compression.
- Anti-Reflux Valve Venting for Neonatal Enteral Gravity Feeding
A buoyant ball valve vents stomach gas back into the feeding container, reducing manual aspiration in neonatal gravity feeding.
- Enteral Feeding Line Fitting With Stress-Relief Coupling Zones
A tapered tip and flange split the coupling into fixing and stress-free zones to resist rupture while keeping enteral line connection easy.
- Inflatable GJ Tube Lumens for Self-Clearing Feed Blockages
Inflatable outer lumens compress the feed lumen to dislodge debris and flush occlusions, keeping GJ tubes patent without manual clearing.
- Elastomeric Enteral Feeding Pump Filling for Quiet Discreet Use
A peristaltic filling approach helps an elastomeric enteral feeding pump stay quiet, easier to fill, and more discreet in public.
- Timer-Controlled Viscosity Testing for Dysphagia Liquid Foods
A timer-controlled valve automates gravity flow testing to reduce human timing error when checking liquid food viscosity for dysphagic patients.
