ABSTRACT:
Method for placing a guide wire through a gastrostomy tube which has a plug through which only the guide wire can pass in slidable communication. The plug prevents air from escaping from the stomach, thus, preventing the collapse of the stomach during the guide wire placement. The plug may comprise a substantially cylindrical member having a longitudinal bore for receiving the guide wire in slidable communication.
