New device aims to ease burden for kids with feeding tubes
NCT ID NCT04001946
Summary
This study tested a new device designed to better secure a gastrostomy button (G-button), a small feeding tube placed into a child's stomach. Researchers wanted to see if this new securement device could reduce common problems like leakage, skin irritation, and the tube accidentally coming out, compared to the standard method of using tape and gauze. They enrolled 182 children and gathered feedback from their caregivers over 12 weeks.
