Gastrostomy Replacement Tubes in Modern Enteral Nutrition Care

Gastrostomy Replacement Tube

A Gastrostomy Replacement Tube is used to deliver nutrition directly into the stomach of patients who cannot eat by mouth. It is inserted through an existing gastrostomy stoma and can be replaced when the original feeding tube is removed or no longer functional. These tubes are designed for patient comfort and ease of use during long-term nutritional care.

Evolution of Gastrostomy Tubes

Gastrostomy feeding dates back to the late 1800s, but the use of replacement tubes became more common with advancements in endoscopic technology. Earlier rigid tubes have evolved into softer, balloon-based designs that are easier to place and remove. The development of silicone materials and radiopaque markings improved both comfort and placement accuracy. Today, replacement gastrostomy tubes are standard in managing long-term enteral feeding needs.

Why Advin’s Gastrostomy Tubes Stand Out?

Advin Health Care provides high-quality Gastrostomy Replacement Tubes designed for safe and effective enteral feeding. These tubes feature a unique tri-funnel design with a 20cc balloon for secure placement and easier removal. The translucent silicone tubing allows visibility to detect blockages or residue. Advin Health Care also includes an adjustable external bolster to accommodate different patient anatomies. With radiopaque markings and a separate medication port, the tube ensures accurate placement and convenient multi-channel use.
