ABSTRACT:
A balloon is inflated with a flowable material that is semi-solid, or sets and becomes solid after it has entered the balloon. The flowable material is injected into the balloon through the balloon port, enters the balloon, and inflates the balloon. The viscosity of the material, or the solid nature of the material after it sets and solidifies, provides a lower anchor for a device that extends percutaneously into the body, such as a feeding tube.
