<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an infection-preventing gastrostomy kit by which a catheter is made to dwell simply without infecting an wound part and without giving a pain to a patient when performing gastrostomy operation through an endoscope. <P>SOLUTION: The kit comprises: a catheter which has a stopper at its one terminal end to be fixed through an abdominal wall between the lumen of the gaster and the outside of the body; an over tube to be inserted for the purpose of introducing the catheter into the lumen of the gaster; and a soft cover installed in the lumen of the over tube. By folding back the terminal end of the soft cover, an outer peripheral wall at a distal end on the insertion side of the over tube is covered, and the other terminal end of the soft cover projects from the proximal end of the over tube. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
