The O.T.W. Push PEG can be placed radiologically or endoscopically and is still polyurethane traction removable.

  • Provides reliable internal fixation, while still traction removable
  • A Radiologically inserted PEG has significantly lower rates of tube obstruction than a RIG (Radiologically Inserted Gastrostomy)9
  • No additional skin fixation required unlike the RIG9
  • Option to convert to a jejunostomy at a later date using an extension kit
  • Can be used where Endoscopy is contraindicated or following failed attempts to place a Pull PEG9
  • Does not require access to Endoscopy service9
  • Requires only minor sedation or local anaesthetic9
  • Significant cost advantage for total consumables with Push PEG compared to RIG9
