Joseph M Makowski holds a patent for post-pyloric feeding tubes. This invention comprises a means for the manual placement of a jejunal feeding tube within the small intestine. The process involves inserting a single lumen tube within the jejunal feeding tube, which features an inflatable stylet at its distal end. Once the tube is positioned in the patient's stomach via an ostomy, the placement device is advanced until the inflatable stylet exits the feeding tube. A syringe is then attached to the placement device, and the stylet is inflated with air, water, or another suitable material.
