It's
all about being independent.
Do you or a loved one use a feeding tube? Do you see the benefit of a
hands free feeding apparatus? The inventor's wife was placed on a peg
tube three years ago and had no way to feed herself independently due
to use of only one hand. The Peg Tube Stand was produced out of urgent
necessity. The Jackson Peg Tube Stand is a feeding tube assistive device
that anchors the feeding tube and allows for self feeding. One version
or another of this aparatus has been successfully used by the inventor's
wife for the past five (5) years.
The stand is for supporting a feeding tube used to deliver food product
to a gastronomy patient. The device is adjustable and designed for use
in a variety of situations including an automobile. It can be operated
with one hand so that feeding can be done independently. Persons with
full use of both hands will also find it useful. It can be used as an
aide for caretakers of peg tube users who may need some assistance.
Marketing research has determined that there are no other products on
the market to assist peg tube users to eat with minimal or no assistance
except for an I.V. pole, which limits mobility.
The inventor also has other models, not yet patented, to assist
caretakers of infants and children who are tube fed. Interviews with
teachers of children on feeding tubes revealed that this would enable the
students to eat with the other children and would help in socialization of
all the children.
