Embodiment Construction

[0032] In some embodiments, a system includes an elongated tube, an inflatable member, and a guidewire assembly. The elongated tube can have a first end, a second end, and can define a lumen. The inflatable member can be coupled to the first end of the elongated tube and can be fluidly coupled to the lumen such that the inflatable member can receive fluid via the lumen. The guidewire assembly can include a guidewire having a first end and a second end. The first end of the guidewire assembly may include a coupling member configured to couple to the inflatable member such that translation of the elongate tube translates the guidewire assembly.

[0033] In some embodiments, a method can include translating an inflatable member of an elongate tube through an orifice of a patient, through the patient's esophagus and into the patient's stomach. The inflatable member can then be inflated through the lumen of the elongate tube to transition the inflatable member from the uninflated...

Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods for guidewire placement for a gastrostomy tube are described herein. A system can include an elongated tube, an inflatable member, and a guidewire assembly. The elongated tube can have a first end, a second end, and can define a lumen. The inflatable member can be coupled to the first end of the elongated tube and can be fluidically coupled to the lumen such that the inflatable member can receive fluid via the lumen. The guidewire assembly can include a guidewire having a first end and a second end. The first end of the guidewire assembly can include a coupling member, the coupling member configured to couple to the inflatable member such that translation of the elongated tube translates the guidewire assembly.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority and benefit to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 663,766, filed April 27, 2018, entitled "System, Apparatus, and Methods for Placing a Guidewire for a Gastrostomy Tube," the entire contents of which are owned by Purposes incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] Embodiments described herein relate to systems, devices, and methods for placing a guidewire for a gastrostomy catheter to provide access to a patient's stomach via a route that bypasses the patient's esophagus. [0004] Some patients have health conditions that impair the patient's ability to swallow food and liquids. Such health conditions may include, for example, cancer, coma, stroke, diabetes, Crohn's disease, neurological disorders, and HIV. A gastrostomy tube (also known as a "G-tube") may be used to provide a path for delivering nutrients directly into the patient's stomach, bypassing the patient'...
