Pediatric Percutaneous Ultrasound Gastrostomy Technique (NCT05966311)
A Multi-center, Feasibility Study to Evaluate the Use and Safety and of the Pediatric PUMA-G System for Percutaneous Ultrasound Gastrostomy
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this research study is to test a new device called the PUMA-G Pediatric System. The research will measure if the device works well to safely aid doctors placing gastrostomy feeding tubes in children. The PUMA-G Pediatric System is an investigational device that uses ultrasound and magnets to guide insertion of a feeding tube.
