An improved gastrostomy feeding device with improved resistance to acidic and enzymatic degradation is disclosed. The device comprises an elongated feeding tube insertable through a patient's abdominal wall and an anchoring device mounted on the feeding tube, preferably near the first end, to retain said feeding tube within the stomach. The anchoring device is comprised of at least one internal retaining member fabricated from a trifluoropropyl or phenyl modified dimethylpolysiloxane elastomer having improved resistance to acids and enzymes.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de nutrition gastrostomique présentant une résistance améliorée par rapport aux dégradations acides et enzymatiques. Le dispositif comprend un tube de nutrition allongé pouvant être inséré à travers la paroi abdominale d'un patient et un dispositif de fixation monté sur le tube de nutrition, de préférence près de la première extrémité, servant à retenir ledit tube de nutrition dans l'estomac. Le dispositif de fixation est fabriqué à partir d'un élastomère phényl ou trifluoropropyl diméthyl polysiloxane modifié présentant une résistance accrue aux acides et aux enzymes.
