摘要:
To provide an access route which is leaktight and at the same time permits mobility and exact positioning of an instillation catheter (6), an arrangement comprising an instillation catheter (6) and a connector piece (1) for attachment to a tracheal or endotracheal tube is proposed. The connector piece (1) has a distal end (1a) for attachment to the tube, and a proximal end (1b) for attachment to a ventilation and/or suction device and comprises a branch (5) which serves for insertion of the catheter (6) and in which a valve (2) is arranged. The valve (2) is made, at least in some areas, from an elastically deformable material and can be opened by insertion of the catheter (6). The valve further comprises a proximal through-opening (21) whose inner wall has a means allowing sealing against axial flow of fluid between catheter (6) and inner wall, and, in the distal direction from the through-opening, it has a beak section (22) which, at its beak tip (23), has a normally closed slit (24).
摘要:
A balloon-button system or a catheter for performing percutaneous enteral feeding includes a holding part, which can be placed on the abdominal wall, and a probe tube, which extends from the holding part while being connected thereto and via which the nourishment that is inserted through a connecting part situated in the holding part can be introduced into the stomach lumen. A distal end of the probe tube is turned inside out and pulled back over the probe tube and joined in a fluid tight manner to form a single-piece probe tube having an inner and an outer tube portion wherein the outer tube is expandable to form a balloon by introducing a fluid. This system is characterized in that the probe tube surrounds a protective tube, and the protective tube has a higher Shore A hardness than the probe tube.
