Stomach tube for avoiding e.g. gastro-oesophageal reflux, has tubular element with distal cuff placed near element`s distal end, and with proximal cuff inflated by inflating unit and placed upstream of distal cuff

摘要

The tube has a tubular element (1) formed of flexible bio-compatible material e.g. PVC, and introduced into stomach of a patient through rhinolalia, while passing via oesophagus of the patient. The element has distal and proximal cuffs (4, 5), made of siliconized membrane, respectively associated to external control inflating units (4-1, 5-1), where the proximal cuff is inflated by the unit (5-1), and the distal cuff is deflated by the unit (4-1). The cuff (4) is mounted near a distal end of the element, and the cuff (5) is mounted upstream of the distal cuff relative to the distal end.
