Protection device for gastronomy tube
A very strong and active young man needs feeding by a gastronomy tube. During feeding time at school, one person engaged his attention whilst the nurse attended to the feeding equipment at the centre. At home, his mother found this difficult to accomplish alone.
When feeding time arrives at home, he is now laid upon the board and the horseshoe shaped barrier board is clicked into position. There is enough clearance under the arch to allow his body to be slid into position, leaving the ever moving hands at one side of the barrier and the gastronomy tube at the other.
The young man is quite content with this arrangement and mealtimes are now peaceful times for both mother and son.
