The Flocare® Gastrostomy-Tube (G-Tube), is a balloon tube directly placed into your stomach, by passing it through your abdomen.
Usually, a G-Tube is placed in an already formed stoma, as a replacement of a PEG tube. As with the PEG, the G-Tube is especially suited if you require longer-term enteral feeding. (Re)placing a G-Tube is a simple procedure, that can easily be applied. The Flocare® G-Tube is designed to provide optimal safety during placement and use. In addition, the design and materials are patient-friendly and ensure ease-of-use.
Silicone, Copolyester
The G-Tube is NOT to be used as an initial gastrostomy placement. Nutricia does not recommend this as per our 'Instruction for Use', as the G-Tube is designed as a replacement balloon gastrostomy. Do not overfill the balloon and use sterile water or saline.
