A G-tube, or gastrostomy tube, typically consists of a flexible, thin tube that is inserted directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall. It often features a balloon or bumper mechanism to hold it in place inside the stomach and an external port for feeding or medication delivery. The visible part outside the body generally includes a connector for feeding and a securing device to prevent movement. G-tubes come in various sizes and designs, depending on the specific needs of the patient.
