Product Overview of Kangaroo™ Gastrostomy Tube
The Kangaroo™ Gastrostomy Feeding Tube with Y Ports is designed specifically for enteral feeding needs.

This product is carefully constructed to support effective nutritional delivery, ensuring that patients receive the care they need without unnecessary discomfort.

Key Features Enhancing Safety and Usability
One of the standout features of the Kangaroo™ Gastrostomy Tube is its incompatibility with luer lock or IV connections. This design choice aids in reducing the risk of accidental connections, which can lead to potential misadministration of feeds. Furthermore, the product complies with safety standards, addressing significant concerns raised by the 2006 Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) regarding tubing misconnections. Such features not only enhance the safety profile of the feeding system but also offer peace of mind for healthcare professionals and caregivers alike.

The replaceable Y-port on the Kangaroo™ Gastrostomy Tube represents a significant advancement in feeding tube technology. This feature allows users to replace the Y-port independently instead of having to replace the entire feeding tube. This aspect reduces waste and disappointment as caregivers can quickly adapt to their patients’ changing needs without incurring additional costs associated with full tube replacements. The practical design of the feeding tube, combined with its focus on ease of use, positions the Kangaroo™ Gastrostomy Tube as a leading choice for enteral feeding solutions.
