Abstract

To alleviate the spillage of formula from a nasal-gastric tube, a small (5 cc size) constant diameter barrel having a side arm is inserted into the N-G tube. The equal sized open ends of the barrel are closed with a membrane that allows air to pass through but is impervious to liquids. The barrel is made of clear nylon material approved by the FDA for contact with formula for the baby.
