Enteral fast access tract platform system

A method for minimally invasively accessing a selected gastrointestinal tract site of an individual, the method comprising:

• selecting an elongated conduit having an upstream end and a downstream end, a lumen extending therethrough, an access port in fluid communication with the upstream end, and at least one distribution port in fluid communication with the downstream end;
• selecting an anchor and a channel for placement in the mouth;
• coupling the channel to the anchor via an adjustable connector that has a first end and a second end;
• inserting the downstream end of the elongated conduit into the channel, such that the access port is disposed outside of the channel and is not translatable through the channel;
• placing the downstream end in the selected gastrointestinal tract site;
• and
• placing the upstream end in a mouth of the individual,
• wherein the anchor is attached to at least one feature in the mouth, and
• wherein the adjustable connector is configured to be attached to the anchor at the first end and to the channel at the second end such that the channel is spaced apart from the anchor, the second end configured to be displaced relative to the anchor to allow positioning of the channel at a desirable location within the mouth.

A gastrointestinal administration device comprising:

• an elongated track having an upstream end configured to be disposed in a mouth of an individual, a downstream end configured to be disposed in a gastrointestinal tract site of the individual, and a coupler disposed at the upstream end of the elongated track, the elongated track configured to deliver a substance or a device to a selected site of the gastrointestinal tract;
• an anchor configured to be disposed in the mouth, the anchor configured to secure the upstream end of the elongated track to at least one feature in the mouth;
• and
• a channel coupled to the anchor via an adjustable connector that has a first end and a second end,
• wherein the adjustable connector is configured to be attached to the anchor at the first end and to the channel at the second end such that the channel is spaced apart from the anchor, the second end configured to be displaced relative to the anchor to allow positioning of the channel at a desirable location within the mouth, the channel configured to receive the upstream end of the elongated track,
• wherein the coupler is coupled to the channel.

A method for minimally invasively delivery of a substance or a device to a selected site of the gastrointestinal tract of an individual, the method comprising:

• selecting an elongated track having an upstream end and a downstream end;
• selecting an anchor and a channel for placement in the mouth;
• coupling the channel to the anchor via an adjustable connector that has a first end and a second end;
• inserting the elongated track through the channel;
• coupling the upstream end of the elongated track to the channel;
• placing the downstream end of the elongated track in the selected site of the gastrointestinal tract;
• placing the upstream end of the elongated track in a mouth of the individual;
• and
• delivering the substance or device to the selected site of the gastrointestinal tract by coupling the substance or device to the elongated track,
• wherein the adjustable connector is configured to be attached to the anchor at the first end and to the channel at the second end such that the channel is spaced apart from the anchor, the second end configured to be displaced relative to the anchor to allow positioning of the channel at a desirable location within the mouth, the anchor configured to be attached to at least one feature in the mouth.
