Nasogastric tube structure

Abstract

Provided is a nasogastric tube structure including a temperature-controllable and deformable wire embedded within the wall of a flexible tube. The wire deforms in response to temperature changes, thereby altering the diameter of the tube. This allows the nasogastric tube to be inserted with a reduced diameter, enhancing patient comfort during the procedure. After the nasogastric tube is in place, the tube expands to a larger diameter as the wire deforms, facilitating the patient’s feeding and medication administration.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
