Designed to facilitate the safe initial placement of gastrostomy feeding tubes, the Avanos Medical 98701 Gastrointestinal Anchor Set with SAF-T-PEXY T-Fasteners provides secure gastropexy by affixing the stomach wall directly to the anterior abdominal wall. Essential for primary enteral tube placement—including Avanos MIC and MIC-KEY brand gastrostomy tubes—this kit utilizes pre-loaded safety needles to streamline T-fastener deployment while protecting clinicians from accidental sharps injuries. Each T-fastener features absorbable 3-0 Biosyn monofilament suture material and a low-profile external retention bolster with an audible locking click, ensuring optimal tensioning, patient comfort, and hygiene without requiring a second procedure for suture removal.
