Design of a Dressing for Gastrostomy Buttons in Pediatric Population
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Gastrostomy tube dressing for Gastrostomy Complications. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Gastrostomy tube (G-tube) complications, such as granulation tissue formation and tube dislodgements, are frequent causes of emergency department visits. The investigators have developed two G-tube dressing designs using commercially available materials and products to decrease the risk of G-tube related complications. The investigators aim in this study is to pilot two novel G-tube dressings in patients with pre-existing G-tubes to gain parental feedback on device designs, ease of use and G-tube stability in preparation for a final design and trial. Based on the feedback, further iterations will be developed and trialed in eligible study subjects.
