Can You Purchase External Bumpers Separately?

[feedingtuberesearcher]

Hi All,

I have a random question for you all. Has anyone ever purchased an external bumper separately than the entire PEG tube, or do you have to replace the entire PEG tube if you need to replace the external bumper? I need a new external bumper, but I'm not sure if you can purchase them alone without having to go to the trouble of replacing the entire PEG tube. Thanks in advance for answering my question!

Couldn't find it in google, but the whole assembly is~$28: Kimberly-Clark Gastrostomy Feeding Tube - Allegro Medical Supplies

I thought you were researching making your own?

Hi All,

Thanks for your responses. Yes, we are making our own feeding tube. But, we need prototyping materials for comparison and that is why I was seeing if I could purchase external bumpers separately. Thanks for taking the time to respond GregK! I appreciate the effort

ok cool.

Just consider though that many of our members are fully paralysed and typing with their eyes. It is pretty simple to use google to find suppliers if you have research skills as surely you have researched the few different brands available online.

Good luck with your development.
