Laboratory tests show Halyard Health's MIC* PEG Feeding Tubes collapse for traction removal but require more force than other tubes.

• According to a recent study, PEG pullouts cost more than $20,000 in additional health care charges not including individual physician charges, hospital days, transportation, and additional time and administrative costs associated with these events.
• The vast majority of PEG pullouts require an emergency department visit, a level 3 surgical consultation, a replacement gastrostomy tube and a radiographic confirmation of tube positioning.
• In early tube dislodgement, the stomach may separate from the abdominal wall and the open gastrostomy may leak gastric contents into the peritoneal cavity.
