Hi,
Any advice on PEG tube belts/waistband support ? I'm using tape but all just peeling off.
Thanks
Turi
Morning Turi
I got mine from my RIG nurse, your nurse should be able to get you one, or you can buy them.
I'm lucky enough that i do a lot of needle work, so i am making myself some more.
I'm still having problems with my tube leaking so i need more than one.
They are good and help hold the tube in place, like you say tape doesn't last.

Nothing is irrelevent !
That's a shame she doesn't
If you put 'feeding tube belt' in the search on Amazon there are lots that come up. The one i have has an elastic strap with a pouch at the front, the other types on there don't look so good.
If you find you get on with one after buying it, if you want, choose a nice piece of material you like and i'll make you a couple !!

Thanks Peter.That sounds like a good way of securing it.

Just a thought Peter, be careful the teeth on the clips doesn't damage the tube after time.
