Overview

About this study

The purpose of this research study is to gather information on one specific part of a feeding tube, known as the adjustable skin disk. The goal of this research study is to see if a new type of adjustable skin disk, called a Constant Pressure Skin Disk (CPSD), can safely and effectively support one or more of the following: 1) adequate healing after feeding tube placement; 2) a reduced rate of complications associated with feeding tubes, such as leakage, skin breakdown, etc.; 3) ease of use; and 4) durability (holds up to usual wear and tear associated with feeding tube use).
