Abstract

The apparatus for the enteral feeding of a patient is a probe (1), with a tube (10) which has a shaped guide section (F) leading from the distal end (12) toward the proximal end (11). The apparatus for the enteral feeding of a patient is a probe (1), with a tube (10) which has a shaped guide section (F) leading from the distal end (12) toward the proximal end (11). The length (L) of the guide section is longer than the diameter of the intestine into which the probe is inserted and has a minimum length of 30 mm. The outflow openings (120), at the probe periphery, are outside the guide section.
