Direct G-Tube Placement...Step by step

 7. The lubricated G-tube enters the stomach. A traction suture is provided for positioning the tube by the gastroscope.
 8. The traction suture is grasped by "rat-toothed" forceps and retracted into the gastroscope. The tube is towed into the duodenum.

 9. The stiff extra-long forceps remain to hold the tube within the duodenum. Only the gastroscope is withdrawn into the stomach. The forceps follow later.
