Claim:
1. A multi-lumen feeding tube device comprising: a multi-lumen tube having at least two lumens at a proximal end thereof and at least one lumen at a distal end thereof, with the at least two lumens comprising at least a gastric lumen and a jejunal lumen; a G-J button; a jejunal tube inserted into the jejunal lumen, wherein the jejunal tube comprises a cone-shaped portion at a proximal-most end of the jejunal tube that expands radially from the jejunal tube, and the jejunal tube is inserted into an opening in the G-J button into the jejunal lumen such that the cone-shaped portion mates with an interior surface of the G-J button to couple the jejunal tube to the jejunal lumen and the G-J button; and a spring positioned continuously along a length of the jejunal tube from just below the cone-shaped portion at the proximal-most end in order to provide a kink-resistant feature to the multi-lumen feeding tube device.
