Esophagostomy Feeding Tube Placement
Retrograde Technique: Tunneler for Esophagostomy Feeding Tube Placement
EASIER AND FASTER – Retrograde tunneling greatly improves the ability to easily, safely, and quickly position the MILA length- adjustable Esophagostomy Feeding Tubes. DESCRIPTION FITS TUBE SIZES: ITEM # 14Fr Esophagostomy Tube Tunneler 10Fr and 14Fr (item #'s E1030, E1430 and E1450) ETUN14 18Fr Esophagostomy Tube Tunneler 18Fr (item #E1830) ETUN18 20Fr Esophagostomy Tube Tunneler 20Fr (item #SE2030) ETUN20 30Fr Esophagostomy Tube Tunneler 30Fr (item #SE3044) ETUN30
This technique allows the distal tip of the tube to be manually passed through the mouth into the esophagus. The proximal end of the tube is pulled through the neck with the tunneler. The tube is then cut to the desired length and the Y-port secured in place.
Connect this end to esophagostomy tube
Connect non-radius end to tunneler
Antegrade Technique: Tube Passer for Esophageal Feeding Tube Placement
Designed to facilitate placement of E-tubes and reduce the risk of bleeding and subsequent skin infections. It is available in 3 different sizes and is compatible with all E-tubes as well as Esophageal Balloon Dilation Feeding Tubes used
for management of esophageal strictures (pages 64-65). See MILA website for detailed instructions and videos.
