The invention relates to a gastrostomy tube, to the production methods thereof and to an insertion tool. The distal end (2) of the tube (1) is provided with a bulb (10) formed by parallel strips (6) which are provided in an area of the wall of the tube at a distance from the tip (2) at the distal end, said strips being separated by slits (4) in the wall, but being joined at each end (6a, 6b) to the tube wall. The strips curve outwards to form the bulb with the tip of the tube retracted inside the bulb, such that said tip must be pushed back out of the bulb in order to for the strips to be stretched, thereby eliminating the bulb and enabling the tube to be pulled through the stoma. The invention is suitable for use in gastrostomy.

Le tube (1) présente à son extrémité distale (2) un bulbe (10) constitué par des lamelles parallèles (6) qui ont été formées dans une zone de la paroi du tube à distance du bout (2) de l'extrémité distale, ces lamelles étant séparées par des fentes (4) de la paroi mais restant attenantes à la paroi du tube à chaque extrémité (6a, 6b) de la lamelle, et qui ont été incurvées vers l'extérieur pour constituer le bulbe, le bout du tube se trouvant alors en retrait à l'intérieur du bulbe en sorte qu'il soit nécessaire de repousser le bout du tube hors du bulbe pour que les lamelles soit étirées, ce qui supprime le bulbe et permet de retirer le tube par le stoma. Application en gastrostomie.
