摘要：
A feeding tube comprises a French tube (2, Fig 1) for delivering nutrients or medicament from an upstream end positioned ex vivo toward a downstream end position in vivo, and wherein the tube (2, Fig 1) includes an anterior main port 23 adjacent to the downstream end for discharging the nutrients/medicament. A posterior secondary port 24 is also provided upstream from the main port 23. A rigid bolus (1, Fig 1) is also provided partially mounted in the tube. The bolus comprises an exterior shaft 11 with a proximal end which circumferentially abuts the downstream end of the tube and an elongate shank 51 extending axially from the proximal end and tapering across the axial span of the main port 23 to a distal end. The bolus (1, Fig 1) being provided to guide the flow of nutrients/medicament through main port 23. The tapered portion (16, Fig 2) of the bolus shank 51 may further be dish shaped and preferably extends along the entire diameter of the main port 23.
