Connector for a Gastrostomy Device

Abstract

A connector for coupling an enteral feeding solution supply tube to a port of a gastrostomy device, comprising a fluid conduit having an upstream end and a downstream end; and a nozzle housing a first portion of the fluid conduit at the downstream end configured to be connectable to an orifice defined in the port of the gastrostomy device. The nozzle has a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. An external diameter of the nozzle at or adjacent the distal end is substantially equal to an external diameter of the nozzle at or adjacent the proximal end. An external surface of the nozzle includes one or more indentations. The invention also relates to a feeding extension set including a connector and an enteral feeding solution supply tube.
