The gastrostomy tube or feeding catheter G-Tube is designed for long-term enteral nutrition and is introduced through a small incision in the abdomen into the stomach.

• Single use only.
• Made from 100% medical grade silicone.
• X-ray line throughout the entire tube.

The feeding tube is suitable for long-term use, although it sometimes needs replacement. The G tube can be useful in cases of swallowing difficulties due to neurological or anatomical disorders, such as stroke, esophageal atresia, and other conditions. Dysphagia is the difficulty in feeding and swallowing that occurs in children and adults, presenting as a disorder of food intake from the mouth, with implications for nutrition and social integration. Gastrostomy creates a channel between the gastric and abdominal walls, facilitating nutritional support for patients who need it. The tubular effect post-stoma is usually very good with few complications. Available options:
