Freka® Pexact is a percutaneous balloon tube for long-term enteral nutrition which is used as first placement with a direct puncture method.
A previously made fixation of gastric wall to the abdominal wall with a special Gastropexy device makes this possible. The stomach is than punctured with a trocar in a peel-away-sheeth and a balloon tube is inserted directly. This method makes a placement of a percutaneous feeding tube possible also in patients for whom the conventional pull-method is not feasible.
