Abstract
A feeding tube assembly and feeding tube tip secure a viewing lens proximal of the distal end of the feeding tube tip. The feeding tube tip can include a plurality of protrusions that extend radially inward to secure the viewing lens. The feeding tube assembly and feeding tube tip can be used to improve image quality by keeping tissue from abutting the viewing lens as the feeding tube tip is inserted into a patient.
