NASOJEJUNAL FEEDING TUBE WITH EXPANDABLE GEOMETRY FOR RETENTION
Abstract: a device for administering a fluid to a patient anatomy includes a flexible catheter. the catheter includes a lumen extending therethrough. the catheter is sized and shaped to extend from a proximal end outside a human body to a distal end that can be guided to a target location. a distal portion of the catheter includes one or more exit ports communicating with a first lumen for administering the fluid. a deformable portion of the catheter is formed so that, in a first state, the deformable portion assumes a first shape suitable for guiding the catheter to the target location and, in a second state, the deformable portion assumes a second shape in which the deformable portion curves to extend in at least one radial direction for engaging an inner wall of the target location to anchor the catheter in the target location while administering the fluid.
