Definitions
- Valvular device for the liquid oral feeding of persons.
- This invention concerns the field of medical articles, particularly with reference to the oral feeding, either in hospital or at home, of persons who are not self-sufficient or who, though self-sufficient, have a temporary impediment.
- Background Art At the present stage of technical development there is no other device that is conceptually similar to the present one.
- the aim of this invention is to create a device enabling the oral feeding of liquid and semi-liquid food to home or hospital patients, or to individuals who are temporarily or permanently not self-sufficient, thereby freeing them from their dependance on hospital nursing staff, which can thus be spared.
- Another aim is to provide certain types of healthy individuals with a device enabling them to take food or beverages (water, fruit juices, etc.) easily only with minimal hand use.
- valvular device of the patent in question which is made with a soft and elastic material and consists in a capsule - formed by an olive-shaped body and a neck formed by a small connecting tube - and a valve lodged in the said body.
- the latter is hollow and features one exit hole, and one entrance hole which coincides with the exit hole of the connecting tube.
- the connecting tube features a ring-shaped external projection whereby the device is fastened to the user's dental arch.
- the body of the capsule features the shape of a solid derived from the rotation of an ellipse along its greatest diameter with a round transversal section (as in the case of an olive), or of an ellipsoidal transversal section, in which case it has a flattened body.
- the device's valve prevents the liquid or fluid nutrient from flowing through - it is opened by suction and returns to its resting position (closed) thanks to the elastic properties of the material with which it is made.
- this valve should be of the membrane type with two or more elastic elements.
- This device comes with an ordinary parenteral feeding set consisting in a small tube and a bottle or thermos, which contains the fluid nutrient and is endowed with a common system enabling the entrance of air into the bottle, which is also triggered by suction.
- a bell-shaped protective covering runs along the tube, which is connected to the bottle (or thermos) and to the valvular device.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an overall view of the device and the aforementioned set.
- this valvular device made of silicone rubber for foods, consists in a capsule - formed by olive-shaped body 1 , and a neck consisting in small connecting tube 2 - and in valve 3, lodged in the said body 1.
- the body of the device is hollow and features exit hole 4, and entrance hole 5 which coincides with the exit hole of connecting tube 2; the said connecting tube 2 features ring-shaped external projection 6, whereby the device is fastened to the user's dental arch.
- Valve 3 is of the membrane type and is formed by several elastic elements consisting in triangular flaps 7 fixed at the base to the body's internal surface; the said triangular flaps 7, when at rest, join in order to prevent the fluid substance from passing through.
- the said device features an ordinary parenteral feeding set consisting in small tube 8 connected to bottle or thermos 9, which contains the fluid nutrient and is endowed with ordinary stopper 10, which has an air- intake system that is also triggered by suction.
- a bell-shaped protective covering for the body of device 1 runs along tube 8, which is connected to bottle (or thermos) 9 and to connecting tube 2.
- Bottle (or thermos) 9 can either hang upside down from a stand, like an intravenus drip infusion bottle, or rest on a flat surface; in the latter case tube 8 is inserted into bottle (or thermos) 9 until it almost touches the bottom.
- the nursing staff shall simply have to place this valvular device inside the patient's mouth; it will therefore not be necessary for them to remain and help the patient eat, thereby wasting time, as this device enables him to feed himself without assistance.
- the small tube (8) can be extremely small or be replaced with a stiff cannula. It can have a metal spring core enabling the tube (8) and the connected device to return automatically to their normal position once the user has released it.
