Flocare G-Tube Ch18

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.
