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."


Click here to watch a 25 minute video of Dr. Michael Miller, an Interventional Radiologist at Duke University Medical Center, demonstrate the ease and elegance of using the kit. Take a closer look as he uses these unique tools:

• Pre-loaded Saf-T-Pexy* T-fasteners with resorbable sutures
• Serial dilator with a peel-away sheath that minimizes tissue trauma and eliminates the need for multi-exchange

These innovative tools of the trade enhance patient comfort and physician convenience and provide safety for both.
