SIMPLIFIED DEVICE FOR MOUNTING A PERCUTANEOUS ENDOSCOPIC GASTROTOMY (PEG) TUBE, WHICH IS INSTALLED OUTSIDE THE ABDOMINAL WALL OF A PATIENT AND WHICH FACILITATES THE CONNECTION THEREOF WITH AN ENTERAL FEEDING TUBE

摘要

The invention relates to a simplified device (1) for mounting a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube outside the abdominal wall of a patient and which allows the connection thereof with an enteral feeding tube, which comprises means (10) for attachment by external radial compression of the tube (A) before being cut, and means for retaining by radial expansion the resulting proximal end (a) of the cut tube (A), wherein the retaining means is a cap (20) that is coupled to the attachment means (10) and provides anti-reflux connector means between the proximal end (a) of the tube (A) and an enteral feeding tube.
