Testing a new skin disk for feeding tubes

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the feasibility of a new adjustable skin disk, known as the Constant Pressure Skin Disk (CPSD), used in conjunction with gastrostomy and jejunostomy feeding tubes. Researchers will replace the standard external skin disk with the CPSD during the tube placement procedure to assess its effectiveness in promoting healing and reducing complications. The study aims to gather data on the safety and efficacy of this new device compared to traditional options.
