title: Enterostomy catheter exchange using new polymer-coated guide wire: technical note.
abstract: The exchange of enterostomy feeding catheters may be facilitated by the use of a recently developed hydrophilic polymer guide wire. This has been found especially useful in the insertion of catheters constructed of polyurethane or silastic-type materials.
