#$%^&*AU2007201156B220120809.pdf#####ABSTRACT An intubation device is provided for use with a guide apparatus having a track that is adapted to be associated with an endoscope such that bending of the track is substantially decoupled from bending of the endoscope. The intubation device includes an elongated, flexible tube and a mating member attached to the tube and adapted to slidingly engage the track external of the endoscope. The intubation device further includes a tissue bolster disposed on the proximal portion of the tube and changeable between a collapsed and an expanded configuration. The tube is positionable inside the upper gastrointestinal tract of a patient such that the proximal end of the tube is externalized through the gastric and abdominal walls of the patient, and wherein the tissue bolster is securable against the inner gastric wall when the tissue bolster is in the expanded configuration.5/20 3450 FIG. 6 44 34 50 32-" 249 3 42 FIG. 7 34, 445 50 ,-52 322 FIG. 8 34 5052 32-24) FIG. 91 5/20 10,20 54 80--36 FIG. 20
