ABSTRACT:
A gastrostomy tube having a collapsible, internal retention flange is disclosed, and the gastrostomy tube is inserted into a patient's stomach by a percutaneous endoscopic or other suitable technique. The internal retention flange comprises a dome shape that will not only reduce patient risk during the placement procedure, but will also allow for a more consistent and less traumatic external removal procedure.
