The Stylus is intended to assist in the placement of Low-Profile Gastrostomy Feeding Tube or Gastrostomy Button by providing temporary feeding tube stability during insertion through patient stoma tract.

The Stylus (may also be referred as Stylet, Introducer, Obturator or Stiffener) is an Introducer for the Low-Profile Gastrostomy Feeding Tube or Gastrostomy Button (LPGFT/B - K122030) originally cleared in July 2012 which was developed at Degania Silicone Ltd. The Stylus is made of Polycarbonate (Macrolon®) and has various ranges of lengths, colors and weights. The Stylus is inserted all the way into the Feeding Port of the LPGFT/B port of the cleared gastrostomy device. The use of the Stylus is optional, it provides stiffness to the LPGFT/B shaft to guide the LPGFT/B through the stoma. The Stylus should not exceed the buttons distal tip. The Stylus is being sterilized by Ethylene Oxide (EtO) along with a compatible Low Profile Gastrostomy Feeding Tube/ Gastrostomy Button kit, rather than a standalone device.
