A Revolutionary Method for Percutaneous Radiologic Gastrostomy

Kimberly-Clark* MIC*, MIC-KEY* Introducer Kits contain Percutaneous Radiologic Gastrostomy tools that Interventional Radiologists need to safely and efficiently facilitate initial placement of our balloon-retained G, J and TJ feeding tubes. The convenient all-in-one package features unique PRG tools and devices that allow for a minimally invasive method of placing enteral feeding tubes in patients who require long-term nutritional support.

Dr. Joshua Weintraub, Chief of Vascular and Interventional Radiology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, explains how the Kimberly-Clark* Introducer Kits have revolutionized the way in which he places gastrostomy tubes.

"It's really brought together all the pieces that I used to have to collect from multiple manufacturers into one easily used kit. The T-fasteners are by far the best 've seen on the market... and the dilators have eliminated the multiple exchanges I've needed to do in the past."

Watch demonstrations on the ease and elegance of using the kit.
