Abstract
A device is disclosed for supplying food and medication to a patient, the device being inserted through a stoma and into the patient's stomach. The device is secured within the stomach by an inflatable balloon, and on the abdominal wall by an adjustable ring which also prevents ingestion of the device into the stomach. During use, the adjustable ring can be retracted to permit cleaning of the stoma area. The device can be employed with conventional surgically formed procedures, and is replaceable at considerably longer intervals than present devices. Servicing of the device can be made at home, rather than at a hospital.
