The Flexiflo PolyG Gastrostomy Tube is intended for gastric placement through a mature gastrocutaneous fistula, or one created during a Stamm or Witzel procedure. The tube functions as a conduit to facilitate enteral feeding, and may be used in pediatric, adult or elderly patients who cannot consume an adequate diet orally. Enteral feeding may be indicated for patients with a functioning gut who require short- to long-term feeding support, such as post-trauma patients, post-surgical patients, burn patients, general trauma patients, high-risk patients prone to tube misplacement complications, and patients in whom malnutrition exists, or may result, secondary to an underlying disease or condition. The tube may also be used for gastric decompression or evacuation of gastric contents.
