PEG feeding tube insertion is done in part using a procedure called endoscopy to provided nutrition when patients are unable to eat or drink.
APPL has developed medical grade silicone gastrostomy tube (also called a G-tube) which is soft and clear, as well as good biocompatible, good elasticity, good flexibility and radio-opaque for detection of correct placement. The multi-function connector can be used with a variety of connecting tubes to inject nutrients such as nutrient solution and diet.
