The present embodiment provides a gastric tube assembly. The stomach tube component can enter the stomach of a patient from the nasal cavity of the patient through the esophagus to provide nutrition supply or gastrointestinal decompression for the patient.

Referring to fig. 1-3, in one embodiment, the gastric tube assembly includes a gastric tube 100, a balloon 200, a connector 300, and an airway tube 400.

The gastric tube 100 has a first lumen 110 for nutrient supply and a second lumen 120 for gas pressure monitoring. The first lumen 110 typically extends through the entire gastric tube 100. The first channel 110 has a nasal feeding port for the input of nutrients, which can be connected to external connectors and pipes, etc. to paste food with a grinder under special conditions to form nutrients, and the nutrients are injected into the first channel 110 through the nasal feeding port by a syringe to help patients who cannot swallow autonomously replenish water and food, and maintain metabolism, weight and nutrition in the body. The second channel 120 is one of the gas monitoring channels. This second lumen 120 has a gas interface, and the wall of the second lumen 120 has a vent through to the outer wall of the gastric tube 100, the vent communicating with the second lumen 120.

The balloon 200 covers the outer wall of the gastric tube 100, and may be wrapped around the circumference of the gastric tube 100 or may cover only a portion of the outer wall of the gastric tube 100. The bladder 200 has a chamber therein for inflation that is in sealed communication with a vent for injecting gas into the chamber.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, the connector 300 is used to interface the gastric tube 100 with other components for adapting. The connector 300 has a body 310 and a rigid connector 320. Wherein the body 310 has a first passage 311 and a second passage 312. The first channel 311 is in sealed communication with the nasogastric interface of the first channel 110 to form a nasogastric channel. One end of the second channel 312 is in sealed communication with the gas interface of the second chamber 120.

The rigid connector 320 can increase the reliability of the connection of the connector 300 to the gastric tube 100. The rigid connector 320 is provided in the second channel 312 and has a gas channel therethrough. One end of the rigid connector 320 extends from the gas port into the second channel 120, which is in sealed communication with the second channel 312. The airway tube 400 is in sealed communication with an end of the second channel 312 that faces away from the second channel 120, such that the airway tube 400 is in sealed communication with the cavity of the balloon 200, and the airway tube 400 is configured to be connected to a pressure monitoring device. The balloon 200 may be inflated via the airway tube 400, such as by injection of gas via a syringe or other gas supply. In addition, airway tube 400 may be used to communicate with an external pressure monitoring device to monitor pressure within balloon 200, and thus obtain and monitor gas pressure in the patient's esophagus and stomach. Referring to fig. 1, when there are more than two air ducts 400, the air ducts 400 can be collected at one position by the adapter 500 and then led out together, which facilitates subsequent docking.

In this embodiment, the rigid connector 320 is more secure than the capillary tube, and is not easy to break or leak, and the connector 300 is more reliably connected to the gastric tube 100, thereby avoiding the occurrence of problems due to inaccurate air pressure detection caused by gas leakage. And a part of the rigid connector 320 extends into the second channel 120, and another part is located in the second channel 312, so that a reinforcing structure can be formed between the gastric tube 100 and the connector 300, and the connection failure caused by the bending of the gastric tube 100 and the connector 300 under pressure can be avoided.

In one embodiment, the rigid connector 320 may be a metal connector made of a metal material or a hard polymer connector made of a hard polymer material. In addition, other materials that can improve the stability of the rigid connector 320 can be used.

Further, the first channel 110 requires nutrients to be infused and therefore has a lumen that is generally larger than the second channel 120. The number of the second channels 120 can be more than one, and the specific number can be determined according to the design and the use requirement of the gastric tube assembly.

Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, there are more than two second channels 120. The number of the second channels 312 of the connector 300 is set to be equal to the number of the second channels 120 in order to be respectively communicated with the two or more second channels 120. A second channel 120 is in sealed communication with a second channel 312, and a rigid connector 320 is disposed in each second channel 312.

In the case where there are two or more second channels 120, the second channel 120 may be disposed around the first channel 110 in order to make the gastric tube 100 as thin as possible. And correspondingly, a second channel 312 interfacing with the second channel 120 is also disposed around the first channel 311.

As shown in fig. 2, in one embodiment, the number of the second channels 120 is two, and the two second channels 120 surround the outside of the first channel 110, for example, are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first channel 110.

Further, since the first channel 311 is a nasal feeding channel, the requirement for the size of the inner cavity is large. In order to ensure the dimensions of the first passageway 311 and the second passageway 312 without enlarging the size of the gastric tube 100, referring to fig. 3, in one embodiment, the second passageway 312 extends obliquely outward of the second lumen 120, so that enough room is left for forming the first passageway 311.

In particular, when there are more than two first channels 311, as shown in fig. 3, the first channels 311 may be located between the enclosed areas of all the second channels 312. The first channel 311 and the second channel 312 do not interfere with each other.

Further, the second channel 312 extends obliquely to the outside of the second channel 120, so that the assembly space of the airway tube 400 is larger, and therefore, in an embodiment, the diameter of the lumen of the airway tube 400 can be set to be not smaller than the diameter of the lumen of the second channel 120, that is, larger than or equal to the diameter of the lumen of the second channel 120, so that the air resistance of the whole airway system can be reduced, the gas inside the balloon 200 can be more easily transmitted to the pressure monitoring device, and the response time of pressure monitoring can be reduced.

Of course, in some embodiments, the diameter of the lumen of airway tube 400 may also be configured to be smaller than the diameter of the lumen of second lumen 120.

To adapt to the extended shape of the first channel 311, referring to fig. 3, in an embodiment, the rigid connection member 320 has a first extension 321 and a second extension 322, the first extension 321 is located in the second channel 120, and the second extension 322 is located in the second channel 312 and is disposed obliquely in the same direction as the second channel 312.

Referring to fig. 3, in one embodiment, the airway tube 400 is directly sealed and fixedly connected to the end of the rigid connector 320 facing away from the second lumen 120. In another embodiment, the airway tube 400 may also be directly sealed and fixedly connected to the end of the second channel 312 facing away from the second channel 120, rather than being directly connected to the rigid connector 320. The fixed connection may be achieved by adhesive or other fixing means, such as a tight fit, welding, etc.

Further, the connector 300 is fixedly connected to the gastric tube 100, and the fixed connection can be achieved by various means such as adhesive, tight fit, welding, etc. The rigid connector 320 and the body 310 may be fixedly connected or may be an injection molded integral structure.

Referring to fig. 3, in one embodiment, the body 310 has a concave assembly cavity 313, and the first channel 311 and the second channel 312 penetrate through the inner concave surface of the assembly cavity 313 (i.e., the inner end surface 314 of the assembly cavity 313). One end of the gastric tube 100 extends into the mounting cavity 313 and sealingly abuts against a cavity wall (e.g., a side wall, an inner end surface 314, etc.) of the mounting cavity 313. The fixed sealing between the gastric tube 100 and the wall of the assembling cavity 313 can be realized by various modes such as adhesive, tight fit, welding and the like.

Further, referring to fig. 1 and 3, in one embodiment, the gastric tube assembly further comprises a nasogastric connector 600, wherein the nasogastric connector 600 is in sealed communication with the first channel 311 of the connector 300. The nasogastric adapter 600 can be used to externally connect tubing or syringes for nasogastric procedures to drive the required nutrients into the gastric tube assembly.

Referring to fig. 1 and 4, on the other hand, in one embodiment, the bladder 200 has an integrally formed bladder 210, and the bladder 210 has a cavity and two oppositely disposed fitting ports 201. This gasbag 200 is integrated into one piece structure, and the surface is smooth, does not have the piece, can avoid the fish tail risk that arouses by the piece, can not damage patient's mucous membrane at the catheterization in-process.

This stomach tube 100 crosses the cavity from assembly port 201, and the inner wall of assembly port 201 and stomach tube 100 outer wall sealing connection, cavity are through air vent and second chamber 120 sealing communication. The gasbag 200 is directly sleeved on the stomach tube 100, and the inner wall of the assembling port 201 on the gasbag body 210 is attached to the axial direction of the outer wall of the stomach tube 100, so that the sealing is easier, the sealing reliability can be improved, and the air leakage risk is greatly reduced.

The inner wall of the assembling port 201 and the gastric tube 100 can be fixed in a sealing manner by an adhesive, or can be fixed in a sealing manner by other manners, such as heat shrinkage treatment, welding, tight fit and the like.

Referring to fig. 1 and 4, in one embodiment, the bladder 210 has an inflation portion 211 and two connection portions 212 at both ends of the inflation portion 211. One fitting opening 201 is provided on each connecting portion 212. The gastric tube 100 extends from the mounting port 201 of the one side connecting portion 212 into the inflation portion 211, passes through the inflation portion 211, and extends from the mounting port 201 of the other side connecting portion 212.

In one embodiment, the dimension of the inflatable portion 211 in the radial direction of the gastric tube 100 is larger than the dimension of the fitting opening 201 on the connecting portion 212. The connecting portion 212 has a smaller diameter and is more easily fit and seal with the outer wall of the gastric tube 100. The diameter of the inflating part 211 is larger, which can satisfy the inflation of gas.

In one embodiment, the inflated portion 211 and the connecting portion 212 are cylindrical, and the diameter of the inflated portion 211 is larger than the diameter of the connecting portion 212.

In one embodiment, the diameter of the mounting port 201 is smaller than the diameter of the outer wall of the gastric tube 100, so that when the gastric tube 100 passes through the balloon 200, the inner wall of the mounting port 201 will be tightly attached to the gastric tube 100. When the balloon 200 is bonded, the two ends are slightly spread apart and then the gastric tube 100 is inserted. Because the diameter of the two ends of the air bag 200 is slightly smaller than that of the gastric tube 100, after the air bag 200 is sleeved on the gastric tube 100, the two ends can be automatically contracted and attached to the outer surface of the gastric tube 100.
