International Classification:

B65D 4120

US Classification:

215250

Abstract:

An enteral delivery universal port assembly fabricated from a first portion and a second portion of different materials. The first portion has a generally cylindrical side wall, an annular top surface and a corresponding annular bottom surface. The second portion has a central portion with a peripheral flange extending radially outward therefrom, and an annular portion positionable is superposed adjacent relationship to the annular bottom surface. Extending upwardly from the surface of the central portion are first and second projections, the first projection having a base which is a spikable membrane and the second projection being associated with filter means which allow air to enter the enteral nutritional product container to which the enteral delivery universal port assembly is secured in its operative embodiment.
