A gastrostomy is the surgical formation of an opening through the abdominal wall into the stomach. Often utilized to provide long-term nutritional support, feeding through a gastrostomy tube (g-tube) is an effective and convenient way to deliver nourishment to the body through an established stoma.

• Extended length of tubing allows for easier access to resident
• Extension sets are not needed when feeding through a g-tube
• Utilize Feed/Flush technology to help avoid tube occlusions

The feeding port is incompatible with luer lock or IV connections, reducing the risk of accidental connection or infusion. Available with safe enteral connections to address the 2006 JCAHO Tubing Misconnections Sentinel Event Alert. The Kangaroo gastrostomy tube is constructed of a durable silicone that allows for optimal performance and longevity.

Caring for residents with a g-tube

Caring for a g-tube is not considered a sterile procedure and can be incorporated into a normal daily caretaking routine. The skin around the tube should always be kept clean and dry to prevent the buildup of moisture and debris that may cause skin irritation and complications such as hypergranulation and infection.

A daily check of the stoma site should include the following:

• Check the stoma site and skin for redness and swelling
• Check around the tube for excess skin growth
• Check the stoma site for frequent and/or large amounts of leakage

• The product warranty is applicable as per the terms and conditions provided by the product manufacturer.
