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.
