Gastropexy Procedure

Gastropexy Kits from Vygon Vet provide a safe and simple option for the primary placement of a balloon gastrostomy or a gastro jejunostomy device. Here are some simple steps for you to follow to help you perform this technique;

 

 Veterinary Gastropexy Procedure: Step one

Mark the insertion site with introducer points in a triangle at 2cm away from the stoma site. Infiltrate with local anaesthetic.

 Veterinary Gastropexy Procedure: Step two  

Prime the SAF-T-PEXY introducers with sterile water and insert at the points marked.

 Veterinary Gastropexy Procedure: Step three  

Pull back the blue clip and push the clear hub down to eject the   T-Fastener.

 Veterinary Gastropexy Procedure: Step four  

Slide the locking disc to the skin but do not lock. Secure sutures with a forceps until all are introduced.

 Veterinary Gastropexy Procedure: Step five  

Pull the sutures up until resistance is felt (the T-Fasteners will be against the stomach wall) then slide locking discs down to skin level, lock in position with an audible click and cut sutures to length.
