Abstract

The present invention pertains to the field of medical devices and introduces an enteral tube system designed for efficient and continuous delivery of fluids into a patient's gastrointestinal tract. The system integrates a one-way air valve along the tubular body, allowing ambient air to equalize negative pressure within the tube. This innovative feature enables the plunger of a syringe connected to the syringe port to be removed and the syringe refilled without disconnecting it, ensuring uninterrupted operation. The system also includes an enteral connector with user-controlled fluid flow pathways, enhancing versatility and precision during fluid administration. By addressing challenges such as negative pressure buildup and simplifying the refilling process, the invention reduces handling complexity and improves overall efficiency. The system is suitable for administering enteral fluids, medications, or diagnostic agents in healthcare settings, offering significant advantages over traditional enteral feeding systems.
