title: Comparison of two skin-level gastrostomy feeding tubes for infants and children.
abstract: Gastrostomy tubes have improved technically over the last 10 years. New to the market are skin-level devices, which are low-profile in design and avoid many problems of standard gastrostomy tubes. Two skin-level devices, the Button and the MIC-KEY, are appropriately designed for infants and children and are compared.
