Thanks for that Jan, I agree that a gastrostomy would be the best option, but parents in this case are not ready for that step yet, they are still coming to terms with the long term diagnosis of this child. We are working on it though :)

Thank you both for the information, I have used granuflex in the past and found it to be good also, but my team seem reticent to change from their current way of doing things despite the fact that it places more of a burden on the workload. Do you know if either of these products is on the formularly, because that will be the next war cry, about granuflex or comfeel being too expensive!

Hi I am a paeds community nurse and have been having problems recently with getting nasogastric tubes to stay in place the tape we are using is Tegaderm, its a bit like Opsite, but they don't adhere very well and we spend a lot of time doing repeat visits to repass tubes which have come out. Any ideas greatly appreciated. I work in the UK by the way.:)
