A gastrostomy tube (11) having a collapsible, internal retention flange (12) is disclosed, and the gastrostomy tube (11) is inserted into a patient's stomach by a percutaneous endoscopic or other suitable technique. The internal retention flange (12) comprises a dome shape that will not only reduce patient risk during the placement procedure, but will also allow for a more consistent and less traumatic external removal procedure.
On décrit un tube de gastrostomie (11) ayant une bride de retenue interne (12) capable de s'affaisser. Le tube de gastrostomie (11) est inséré dans l'estomac du patient par une technique endoscopique percutanée ou par une autre technique appropriée. La bride de retenue interne (12) comprend une partie en forme de dôme, qui non seulement réduit les risques encourus par le patient durant la procédure de mise en place, mais qui, en outre, permet d'enlever le tube d'une manière plus facile et moins traumatisante.
