PEG Kits and Placement Supplies for Initial Gastrostomy Access
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) kits contain the tube and the placement accessories needed to establish initial gastric access at the bedside or in the endoscopy suite. This category covers complete PEG kits grouped by placement technique - pull, push and introducer - along with gastropexy T-fastener sets and the ancillary items used during the procedure. Products are stocked for hospital GI labs, endoscopy suites, interventional radiology and surgical services.
PEG Kit Lines and Techniques Stocked
- Bard PEG systems - Ponsky pull-type and Sacks-Vine push-type PEG kits with matched internal bolsters, plus introducer components, stocked across French sizes for endoscopic placement.
- Cardinal Health Kangaroo PEG kits - Complete Kangaroo gastrostomy feeding kits with tube, bolster and placement accessories for pull technique.
- Avanos Corflo PEG kits - Corflo percutaneous gastrostomy kits with the tube and procedural components for endoscopic placement.
- Introducer and gastropexy sets - Per-oral introducer (push-through) kits and gastropexy T-fastener sets used to anchor the stomach to the abdominal wall during radiologic or introducer placement.
PEG Placement Techniques
| Technique | How Access Is Established | Kit Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Pull (Ponsky) | Guidewire pulled retrograde through the mouth and out the stoma | PEG tube, snare, guidewire, internal bolster, external retention |
| Push (Sacks-Vine) | Tube advanced over a guidewire through the mouth | PEG tube, dilator, guidewire, bolster |
| Introducer (per-oral) | Tube introduced directly through the abdominal wall | Introducer sheath, balloon tube, gastropexy T-fasteners |
Kit Components and Gastropexy
A complete PEG kit generally includes the gastrostomy tube, an internal retention bolster or balloon, an external retention bumper, a guidewire or introducer sheath, and the ancillary items for the chosen technique - snare, dilator, scalpel and syringe. Introducer and radiologic placement kits add gastropexy T-fasteners that anchor the anterior stomach wall to the abdominal wall before tract creation. French sizes commonly span 14 Fr through 24 Fr. After the tract matures, facilities transition to the exchange devices covered under gastrostomy tubes and buttons.
PEG placement kits are procedure-driven consumables ordered against endoscopy and interventional radiology case volume, so consumption tracks scheduled gastrostomy placements across the acute-care calendar. Standardizing on a preferred technique and French size lets GI and surgical services consolidate purchasing, which makes case pricing and standing orders central for materials management. MAP Medical stocks the placement kits and the downstream exchange devices under one account. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between pull, push and introducer PEG techniques?
The pull (Ponsky) technique routes a guidewire through the mouth and pulls the tube retrograde out through the stoma. The push (Sacks-Vine) technique advances the tube over a guidewire in the same oral route. The introducer (per-oral) technique places the tube directly through the abdominal wall, usually with gastropexy T-fasteners. Kits are grouped by technique so services can standardize on their preferred method.
What is included in a PEG placement kit?
A complete PEG kit generally includes the gastrostomy tube, an internal retention bolster or balloon, an external retention bumper, a guidewire or introducer sheath, and the procedural items for the technique - snare, dilator, scalpel and syringe. Introducer and radiologic kits add gastropexy T-fasteners. French sizes commonly span 14 Fr through 24 Fr.
What are gastropexy T-fasteners used for?
Gastropexy T-fasteners anchor the anterior stomach wall to the abdominal wall before the feeding tract is created, which is standard in introducer and radiologic placement. They are stocked as part of introducer PEG kits and as separate T-fastener sets. Facilities performing per-oral introducer or radiologic gastrostomy typically stock T-fastener sets alongside their kits.
Can hospitals order PEG kits in bulk?
Yes. PEG placement kits and gastropexy sets are stocked in case quantities for hospital GI labs, endoscopy suites, interventional radiology and surgical services, and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for the preferred technique and French size a service standardizes on. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What PEG placement products should be in an endoscopy formulary?
A working PEG placement formulary typically includes complete kits in the service's primary technique across the common French sizes, a secondary technique option, gastropexy T-fastener sets for introducer or radiologic placement, and the downstream exchange devices for tract maturity. MAP Medical builds consolidated placement formulary packages matched to procedure volume - contact our team for an assessment.
