Constant Pressure Skin Disk
The external disk is made of Dow Corning® Silastic Q7-4850 liquid silicone rubber. Placement of the disk will be done by the gastroenterologist or interventional radiologist during the gastrointestinal gastrostomy tube (GIG) or gastrointestinal jejunostomy tube (GIJ) placement procedure. The gastroenterologist or interventional radiologist will replace the manufacturer's external, adjustable skin disk with the external, adjustable Constant Pressure Skin Disk, by sliding the former off and the latter on to the feeding tube.
