Scheduled g-tube change in your home or facility
Convenient in-home/facility routine g-tube changes that allow you to save time, energy, and money. We will supply the proper equipment necessary for making a tube change and schedule your next appointment with every visit.
On-call services 7 days a week
In the event of a complication, we are available seven days a week to replace your g-tube, helping you avoid any unexpected or unnecessary hospital visits. Additionally, we will spend time teaching you and your care-team to urgently place a tube to keep the stoma open until we arrive with the new tube.
On-going assessment of gastrostomy site and management and care of g-tube site complications
At every visit we will assess the g-tube site for any sign of infection, ulceration, or granulation tissue. We will make wound care recommendations as well as order the appropriate treatment and/or referral.
