]]> Comment on Administering Medications Through a Feeding Tube by Angela http://disabilitysupportnetwork.com/2009/administering-medications-through-a-feeding-tube/#comment-21 Angela Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:39:37 +0000 http://disabilitysupportnetwork.com/?p=725#comment-21 Hi, All of that info is great. I work 5 days a week with J-tubes and find that the addto tip on syringes work very well. They work well on luer lock and slip tip syringes. They do not slip off and they work well with the size of a port that my girl has. We never use the med port as once it has been used it will not stay shut. I am not sure it you have heard of a product called mepilex, it is a soft foam dressing that we put under her j-tube it pulls the moisture away from the skin. It is great stuff, it has worked very well at protecting the site from breakdown. It is nice to read all of the info that you have posted. I was looking for some other info and just happened to run across this. Thanks Angela Hi,
