About Your CORFLO PEG Tube

The PEG tube (Fig.1) is held in place by an internal retention bumper on the inside of your stomach and is held against your skin/abdomen by an external fixation device. The three different styles of external fixation device are shown below (Fig.2)

At the end of the CORFLO PEG is an ENFit Feeding connector which enables you to attach your feeding set or an ENFit syringe for feeding, flushing or administration of liquid medications. This CORFLO PEG feeding connector can be easily replaced without replacing the entire tube. This is described in more detail in section "replacement and accidental removal".

What Is Your Tube For?

The CORFLO PEG Tube is a special feeding tube which connects the inside of your stomach to the outside to enable feeding to take place directly into your stomach.

How Long Will the CORFLO PEG Tube Last?

Your CORFLO PEG Tube is made from a biocompatible medical grade polyurethane. The life of a PEG tube does vary from patient to patient, the tube may last for several years if required. Your healthcare professional will advise you if it needs to be changed or removed.

What Will I Receive Through My Tube?

Depending on your needs and medical condition, you will receive either all of your nutritional requirements, or part of them in liquid form via your CORFLO PEG tube. This will be prescribed by your healthcare professional. An adequate nutrition consists of the right type and amount of feeding and the right administration schedule.
