How to use the Jackson Peg Tube Stand.

To stabilize the device, the user sits in a chair and places the mast between the legs with the base under the legs. Once it is secure a 60-cc bulb syringe is placed in the clamps at the front of the holding device. Once in the holding device, the syringe is secure and the peg tube port is attached to the tip of the syringe

It works off the gravity feed principle as the syringe is at a higher level than the stomach. The liquid food is poured into the syringe mouth to flow through the tube and into the stomach.

The tube needs to run straight from the syringe to the stomach. To get the right angle, adjust the height of the apparatus by pulling the button on the front of the device and slide to the correct hole in the shaft. .

You can also adjust the position of the base by using the pivot on the mast to bring the syringe holder closer or farther away from the body to accommodate different heights and styles of chairs. This is particularly useful when eating in a car

It can also be used for liquid or crushed medications.
