As a mom who has two children who have g-tubes I know how important it can be to have different sources for information so I am including some of my favorite links to products and information that you may find helpful as well. Bard Interventional ~ the manufactures of the Bard Button Nutritional Supplements ~ this is a private web site with a listing of quite a few different nutritional options. Gastrostomy Tube Care ~ Home care instructions from Cincinnati's Children's Hospital Zevex Entralite ~ The manufacture's web site. This is the pump Kim's family uses. Ballard medical ~ This is the web site for the manufacturers of the Mic-key line of tubes and buttons. Corpak Enteral Access ~ This is the web site for the manufacturer of Farrell Bags which Kim's family has found to be very helpful. The Oley Foundation ~ A group who put out informational newsletters on home enteral and TPN feeding. |
