Enteral feeding extension set connector

An extension set connector for coupling a feeding extension set to a base of an enteral feeding tube device equipped with a circular hub having a radius, a generally horizontal top surface that extends radially outward over a generally vertical side surface to define a circumferential recess in the side surface, the connector comprising:

• a resilient assembly having at least one resilient element;
• release buttons, each release button joined with a respective first end of an inflexible arm in communication with the at least one resilient element, each release button having a first portion comprising a finger contact zone on an outer surface, and a second portion comprising a catch on an inner surface, the catch configured to releasably engage the circumferential recess defined in the side surface of the circular hub;
• and
• a conduit defining a fluid pathway through the connector, the conduit configured to supply a feeding solution to a lumen of the enteral feeding tube device,
• wherein the connector is rotatably coupled to the circular hub having a generally horizontal top surface that extends radially outward over the generally vertical side surface to define a circumferential recess by positioning the connector on the hub and depressing the connector until the catches engage the circumferential recess defined in the side surface of the circular hub, and wherein the connector is decoupled from the hub by pressing the release buttons radially inward to reversibly displace the resilient element thereby moving the respective catches radially outward to disengage from the circumferential recess.
